Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our nursing rating. The nursing grade consists of quite a few subcategories, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a resident even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its long-term care grade, which turns out to be one of its more respectable category grades. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 91.41104 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this nursing home received really poor inspections in recent years, causing them to receive a lowly F for inspections. An F in this category is usually a signal that we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We would scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we want to point out that this place received significant government fines of more than $100,000. This typically signifies that a facility's poor performance has been an issue for multiple years.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home received an abysmal score in this category as well. It received an F in this category, which is definitely very concerning. In calculating our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is often a meaningful assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. With a grade this poor in this category, we weren't shocked to discover that this nursing home was well below average in two of the key staffing figures we looked at. The facility provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
