Facility Inspections
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom ratings in our assessment. Most alarmingly, it received an F for inspections. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's government inspections. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 9 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Long-term Care Quality
Among this facility's litany of poor grades was its F in the category of long-term care. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 93.501045 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing category analyzes many subcategories, most of which are based on nursing hours. This place averaged a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This number is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was short-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Given its score in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
