Facility Inspections
We just could not find anything favorable to say about this nursing home. It received a grade of just D in the category of inspections. Unfortunately, this turned out to be its best score. One of the more critical factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We recommend you pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received large government fines of over $50,000. This generally indicates that government inspectors grew tired after multiple years of failed government inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note that this facility was given an F for its short-term care grade. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. As you might expect, we found that this facility offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. In determining our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was long-term care. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in this area. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.54386 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
