Long-term Care Quality
Although this facility's overall score was horrible, it surprisingly fared well in the area of long-term care. We awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. This is one of the only positive things we can write about this place. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.48718 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also surprised to discover that this nursing home earned a reasonably solid short-term care grade in our assessment. We gave it a grade of C in that category. In forming these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

This facility had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 2 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.

This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores.
