Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that this facility dodged the more serious categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this nursing home only received a D for its long-term care rating, which happens to be one of its higher category grades. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 96.47177 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. We weighed the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth area, this nursing home really did not perform very well in this area either. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Considering its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
