Nurse Quality
We didn't have many positive things to say about this facility's overall grade or its category scores. This place's best category came in nursing. However, with just a D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provided 0.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Tragically, this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. As you might expect, we learned that this place provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections
Among this nursing home's worst category grades was an F for its inspection score. Generally, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspections. For nursing homes with bad inspection scores, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. 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 indicate they created a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is long-term care. We gave it an F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
