Short-term Care Quality
Grade: C
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care rating this year. We gave it a C in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we can find for this nursing home. In our short-term care rating, we strive to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
Grade: D
This facility excelled in the category of nursing, where it earned an D. The nursing rating includes quite a few datapoints, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Grade: F
Unfortunately, this place received an F for its inspection rating. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We would scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This facility was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines of over $100,000. This typically indicates that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for several years.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: F
The next area we assessed was long-term care. This facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 60.17699 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
