Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best score is long-term care, but it still earned a grade of just D in that category. This still happens to be a well below average grade. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home gave the vaccine to only 77.67956 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are with patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. 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. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home was given an abysmal score in this area also. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is definitely a major concern. Short-term care ratings are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a grade in this range in this category, we were not stunned to learn this facility was below average in several staffing metrics we looked at. In fact, it offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.2 percent of its patients returning home.
