Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This means it avoided the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to point out this nursing home's unfortunate short-term care grade where it received an F. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With its weak score in this category, we weren't shocked to learn this nursing home offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.

We looked at the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with residents, in computing our rating in this category. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is long-term care. We gave it an F in this area, which is an abysmal score. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. After considering the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 93.56725 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
