Short-term Care Quality
Neither this place's overall score nor its category scores gave us anything positive to point out. Its best category was short-term care, but even there it received just a D. In calculating these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Given its grade in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.
Facility Inspections
Sadly, this facility's second best category was inspections, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, we want to point out that this place received large government fines in recent years amounting to more than $100,000. This typically means that a nursing home'spoor performance spanned multiple years.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in determining our grade in this category. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home didn't perform well in this category either. With a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 91.81495 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
