Long-term Care Quality
Neither this nursing home's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best category was long-term care, but even there it received just a D. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit concerned this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 66.73387 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home really excelled in our nursing category, where it earned an D. Our nursing score is mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular place averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out this place's inspection score where it received an F. This generally means we found red flags on the government inspections. For places with poor inspection scores, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This nursing home had 9 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a rock bottom score in this area also. We gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more critical for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
