Short-term Care Quality
While this place's overall grade was abysmal, it fared well in our short-term care category. We gave it a B+ for that category, which is one of our higher grades. This is one of the only positive things we could find to say about this facility. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most meaningful for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed significant government fines amounting to more than $100,000. This typically indicates that a bad track record has been an issue for several years.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is long-term care. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the facility did not perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 86.666664 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
