Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home excelled in our nursing category, where it received an D. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This place averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated only 72.51908 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is short-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Given its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility 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.
