Facility Inspections
While we gave this place a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B for our inspections category. This was the result of the facility receiving a quality inspection report this year. Inspection scores are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care rating and that actually wound up as its second most favorable score. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. With a score in this range for this area, we were not shocked to discover this facility was well below average in several staffing areas we looked at. The facility offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing score analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final area, this nursing home really didn't fare well here either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 97.368416 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
