Facility Inspections
We were unable to award this place any respectable grades. We wanted to note that we gave it an F for its inspection score. An F in this area is particularly alarming because it usually points to red flags on its government inspections. With facilities that received this poor of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines recently of over $100,000. This usually indicates that a nursing home's bad performance spanned multiple years.
Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Another unfortunate development is the F this nursing home was given in the category of long-term care. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 40.24961 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was short-term care. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is a very poor score. Our short-term care scores are crucial for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 2.5 percent of its residents returning home.
