This facilities grades were terrible across the board. In particular, we wanted to draw your attention to its poor long-term care grade where it received an F. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 71.89142 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is quite a few points less than average. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of F. There are a host of factors included in this area. Most of these subcategories reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Unfortunately, this nursing home received an F for its inspection grade. This is a particularly important category. Scores in this range usually mean we found some red flags on the facility's inspections. When a facility has this poor of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home had 8 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

The last category we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home received a rock bottom score here also. It received an F in this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. With our short-term care rating, we strive to create a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this place provides significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
