This facility ended up receiving rock bottom scores in our assessment. Perhaps most alarmingly, it received an F for its long-term care grade. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 94.758064 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports.

This particular nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to patient health or safety.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was short-term care. It received a lowly F in this category, which is a very poor grade. In determining our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Given its score in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
