Short-term Care Quality
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B+ for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. We weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
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 rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages just 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable score is long-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that category. This is a relatively poor score. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated only 87.24832 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
Facility Inspections
Looking to our last category of inspections, we gave this nursing home a just D, which is a relatively poor grade. Our inspection score is based on the nursing home's government inspections. Since this data is compiled by government inspectors, we place significant weight on it in our overall grades. One of the more critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we need to point out that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines in recent years of more than $100,000. This usually suggests that a facility's bad track record spanned several years.
