Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care score, which is actually one of its higher category scores. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Considering its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Our nursing score is largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provided a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, this nursing home did not perform well here either. With an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. One of the data points we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 73.35243 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
