Facility Inspections
This nursing home's scores are horrible across the board. In particular, we wanted to draw your attention to its inspection grade where it received an F. This isn't a good sign for its government inspection reports. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We would pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this place received large government fines totaling more than $100,000. This generally suggests that a facility's poor performance has been an issue for several years.
Short-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more important for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Based on its poor rating in this category, we weren't surprised to find this place provides significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.2 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. The nursing grade considers several factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. With just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last category, this nursing home didn't perform very well in this area either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility gave the vaccine to just 81.651375 percent of its patients, which is somewhat concerning. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
