Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of C. Inspection grades are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means this facility dodged the more significant categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place offered a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. With a grade of this caliber for this area, we weren't shocked to discover this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a poor grade here also. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is definitely very concerning. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 85.86388 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
