Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, we did not have any favorable things to write about this facility's overall grade or its category grades. Its best category is the area of inspections. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home had 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, we also want to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines of more than $100,000. This generally signifies that a nursing home's poor track record has been an issue for several years.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home ended up receiving a bottom of the barrel grade in our long-term care category. It was given an F in this category. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 56.92884 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. The nursing score features a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is short-term care. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in this area. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more critical for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this place offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
