Nurse Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Our nursing grade includes many components, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared to most other nursing homes. Finally, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this statistic.
Facility Inspections
As it turns out, its inspection reports were not the source of this nursing home's bottom of the barrel overall grade. In fact, it earned a grade of C in this category. Inspection ratings are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This place was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in categories J through L. This means CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to place resident health or safety in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our long-term care grade. This is not one of our better scores. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 60.162605 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was given a bottom of the barrel score in this category also. We gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously somewhat alarming. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Based on its abysmal grade in this category, we weren't stunned to learn this place offers significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the number of patients that returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
