Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we didn't have many favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall score or its category scores. Its best category was nursing. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed poorly. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
We also would like to note that this facility received an F for its long-term care score. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 60.85627 percent of its residents. This is several points below what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. For facilities with bad inspection ratings, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had the potential to cause actual harm to patients. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received significant government fines in recent years exceeding $50,000. This typically suggests that CMS inspectors became fed up after several years of failed inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated is short-term care, in which this facility received a rock bottom grade here also. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is definitely very concerning. In computing our short-term care ratings, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is often a reliable assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Considering its weak score in this area, we weren't shocked to discover that this nursing home offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
