Short-term Care Quality
Neither this nursing home's overall score nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best area was short-term care, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a weak grade. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Based on its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5.3 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. Unfortunately, this ended up being its second best grade. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This facility had 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we also want to point out that this nursing home received large government fines recently of over $100,000. This often signifies that a facility'sbad performance has been an issue for several years.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. The nursing rating is based on a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is long-term care. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is a very poor score. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 86.614174 percent of its patients. This is several points less than the national average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
