Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a poor overall score, we gave it a fairly respectable grade in nursing, where it received a C. This was better than its other category grades. In determining our nursing grades, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic.
Facility Inspections
This place earned a C for the category of inspections. This was certainly a notch above its other category grades. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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
This nursing home's next most favorable category is its long-term care score, where it received a grade of C. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 62.448982 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. With its weak score in this area, we weren't shocked to find this nursing home offers far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
