Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility an abysmal overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't rate poorly in the category of short-term care. Indeed, we gave it a C for that category, which is among its better scores. Our short-term care grade is generally used to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. In fact, it only received a grade of D for its inspection grade. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. You should be most cautious when considering a nursing home with severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This particular nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years of more than $100,000. This usually suggests that a nursing home's bad performance spanned several years.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is long-term care, in which this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade here also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is definitely somewhat alarming. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 70.03745 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
