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 C for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection scores are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This place had 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means it avoided the more serious categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for its short-term care grade, which really isn't a bad grade. With our short-term care category, we try to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home was given an abysmal grade of F in that category. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.51837 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
