Facility Inspections
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually received a very impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our more favorable grades in that category with a B. Inspection ratings are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This facility really excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an C. Few facilities performed better in this area. Our nursing grade is mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
Another issue is the F this nursing home was given in the category of long-term care. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. We were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to only 67.27941 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility didn't perform well in this category either. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Considering its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
