Facility Inspections
We could not find anything positive to say about this place. It received a D in the area of inspections. Sadly, this turned out to be its best score. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. You should be more cautious when considering a facility with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines amounting to more than $100,000. This often means that a nursing home's poor track record has been an issue for several years.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we analyzed was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given an F. Short-term care grades are commonly used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to offer good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was long-term care, in which this facility received a rock bottom grade in this area also. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 81.56997 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
