Long-term Care Quality
Even though we graded this facility extremely poorly overall, it earned a better long-term care grade this year. We gave it a B- in that category, which is the closest thing to a bright spot we can find for this place. In forming our long-term care ratings, we assess the facility's personal care services. On top of looking at the volume 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 98.22222 percent of its patients, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Our nursing rating looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This place offered a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this facility an F in the category of short-term care. In crafting these short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this place offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our final category of inspections, this nursing home received an abysmal grade. We weight this category more heavily than our other categories. With facilities that received this poor of an inspection rating, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
