Short-term Care Quality
While this facility's overall grade was abysmal, it actually fared well in our short-term care rating. In fact, we gave it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. This is one of the only positive things we could find to say about this facility. Short-term care grades are often employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home didn't perform horribly in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that category. Other categories were the source of its rock bottom overall score. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This indicates inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to present an imminent danger to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. 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 calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care. It received an F in this category, which is a poor grade. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 94.216415 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable total. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
