Nurse Quality
Even though this facility's overall score was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform as badly in the area of nursing. We awarded it a C for this area. Our nursing score weighs quite a few datapoints, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care score and that actually ended up being its second most favorable score. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 92.459015 percent of its residents. This is slightly less than we expected but still a decent figure. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections
This facility received really weak government inspection reports in recent years, causing us to give them an F for inspections. An F in this category is typically a signal that we found some red flags on the nursing home's government inspections. For facilities that received this poor of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility had 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we need to point out that this nursing home received large government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This often indicates that a facility's bad track record has been an issue for multiple years.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the last category, this facility did not fare very well in this category either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more critical for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its weak grade in this area, we weren't stunned to learn this place offers substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
