Short-term Care Quality
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its high marks in the area of short-term care. We awarded it an A- in this category, which salvaged an otherwise lacking profile. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This facility also earned a very impressive nursing rating. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an B. Nursing ratings are primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out this facility's inspection score where it received a lowly F. For facilities with bad inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, we want to point out that this facility received large government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This generally indicates that a poor track record spanned more than one year.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility received a poor score in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. Nursing homes that do not score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 89.40398 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is quite a bit less than average. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
