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. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home had 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This indicates that it dodged the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses commit to residents and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Given its weak score in this area, we weren't shocked to find this nursing home offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is long-term care, where this nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 82.47423 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
