Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the quantity of hours nurses commit to patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's next best category was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still fared relatively poorly. Facilities that do not score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility administered the vaccine to only 71.655334 percent of its patients, which is well below average. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is a poor grade. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most important for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.2 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
