Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, we did not have any positive things to say about this nursing home's overall grade or its category grades. Its best category is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed badly. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.46377 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
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. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This facility had a deficiency on its inspection report. Fortunately, it was not in one of the categories that suggest that it created a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also need to point out that this nursing home received significant government fines of over $50,000. This typically indicates that CMS inspectors became fed up after several years of failed health inspections.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. We analyzed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. 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. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was short-term care. This nursing home received an abysmal grade of F in this area. Our short-term care grades are probably more critical for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
