Facility Inspections
This nursing home received rock bottom ratings in our assessment. Perhaps most alarmingly, it received an F for its inspection grade. Typically, this means we found some red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. For places that received this poor of an inspection score, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was hit with a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by the government inspectors had potential to pose actual harm to residents. Another area of concern is that CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to point out this facility's low-end short-term care score where it received an F. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Given its weak grade in this area, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home provides significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.4 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing grade includes a number of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last area, this facility didn't fare well in this category either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated only 57.09091 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
