Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we did not have any favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall score or its category scores. Its best category is nursing. However, with a D in this category, it still performed badly. Nursing scores are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care score. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility administered the vaccine to just 42.553192 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections
We wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection rating where it received a lowly F. When a facility has this poor of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, this facility really did not fare well in this category either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Considering its score in this category, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the data we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
