Facility Inspections
We simply could not find anything favorable to say about this place. It received a D in the category of inspections. Unfortunately, this ended up being its best score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also need to point out that this facility received large government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This generally indicates that a poor performance spanned multiple years.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's second most favorable score was short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With its grade in this category, we were not surprised to find that this place is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This number is quite a bit below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in this area. 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 healthcare services we assessed. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to just 73.758865 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
