Long-term Care Quality
While we weren't high on this facility's overall score, it surprisingly received an impressive long-term care score this year. We gave it a grade of B+ in this area. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 83.95522 percent of its residents, which is somewhat less than we were hoping for. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, we were pleased to find facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Our nursing score is largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at.

Facility Inspections
Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. For places with bad inspection grades, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility had 6 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed significant government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This typically suggests that a nursing home's bad track record spanned several years.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final category, this facility really didn't perform very well in this area either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Considering its score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
