Even though we graded this facility incredibly unfavorably overall, it surprisingly earned a decent short-term care score this year. We awarded it a grade of B+ in this category. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this nursing home an C. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

We wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection rating where it received an F. This often means we found some red flags on the government inspections. With nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home had 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this place received large government fines amounting to more than $100,000. This typically suggests that a facility's poor track record has been an issue for multiple years.

The final area we assessed is long-term care. This nursing home received an abysmal grade of F in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated only 73.33333 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
