Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 68.95787 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was short-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area, which is an abysmal grade. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. With its abysmal score in this category, we were not surprised to find that this place provides substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
