Short-term Care Quality
While we were not high on this nursing home's overall score, it actually received an impressive short-term care score this year. We awarded it a B in this area, which proved to be a rare glimmer of hope in its profile. In computing these short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Our nursing rating is mostly based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric.

Facility Inspections
This facility received a lowly F for its inspection grade. This is a particularly important category. Grades in this range usually mean we found some red flags on the nursing home's government inspection reports. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection score. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies found by inspectors had the potential to pose actual harm to patients. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines totaling over $100,000. This often indicates that a bad track record has been an issue for multiple years.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is long-term care. It received an F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 90.670555 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
