This area is frequently a reliable measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing.

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing grades are largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

This nursing home's third best category was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. In our long-term care assessment, we focus on the quantity of care provided by a nursing home, along with some qualitative datapoints. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 90.47619 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is quite a bit below average. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

The final category we assessed was inspections. This nursing home didn't receive glowing inspection reports in recent years. Consequently, we had to give it an F. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility was hit with 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines of over $100,000. This typically suggests that a bad performance spanned multiple years.
