Unfortunately, we didn't have any favorable things to say about this facility's overall score or its category grades. Its best category was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still performed relatively poorly. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Given its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this place is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Finally, 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.

Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. When a place has this poor of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing rating analyzes many subcategories, however, the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

The final category we rated was long-term care, in which this facility received an abysmal grade in this category as well. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinates 97.70642 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
