Long-term Care Quality
This place surprisingly performed well in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for that area. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 67.253525 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Sadly, this facility's second best category was inspections, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. One of the most significant factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home had a category J or K deficiency, which are among the worst categories of deficiencies. Finally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this place received large government fines recently amounting to over $100,000. This often indicates that a facility'sbad track record has been an issue for more than one year.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing rating weighs a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our fourth category, this facility really did not fare very well here either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below average.
