Facility Inspections
Sadly, we gave this nursing home some extremely bad category grades. This includes an F for its inspection score. This is a particularly important category. Scores in this range generally point to some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. With places that received this bad of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating is mostly based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility wound up receiving a an abysmal score in our short-term care area. It received an F in this category. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. With a grade this poor for this area, we weren't surprised to discover this place was well below average in multiple staffing metrics we looked at. The facility offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this facility really didn't perform well in this area either. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 49.38838 percent of its patients. This is significantly below what we expected. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
