Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a poor overall grade, we also gave this nursing home terrible grades in the various categories. It only received a D for its inspections score, which is its top category. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Generally, you should be especially cautious when considering a nursing home that has severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular facility was assessed 9 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility just a D for our short-term care score and that actually turned out to be its next best category. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Given its score in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. The nursing rating is based on a variety of subcategories. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. 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-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home really didn't fare well in this area either. With an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility gave the vaccine to only 55.084747 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
