Long-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our long-term care rating. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home gave the vaccine to only 40.18265 percent of its residents, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an D. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses spent with patients, in computing our grade in this category. This place offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Among this facility's worst category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this indicates we found some red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. For facilities with poor inspection ratings, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, we also want to point out that this place received significant government fines totaling more than $100,000. This often indicates that a nursing home's bad track record has been an issue for several years.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is an abysmal score. In determining these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. As you might expect, we found that this nursing home provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
