Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This place was assessed 8 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This means inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to present an imminent danger to patient safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
We also would like to point out that this facility received an F for its long-term care grade. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 58.35189 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. In computing our nursing ratings, we look at both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This statistic is far below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is a very poor score. Short-term care scores are crucial for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With its poor score in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this place offers significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
