Short-term Care Quality
We could not find anything positive to say about this facility. It received a lowly D in our short-term care category. Sadly, this ended up being its best category. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. With its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. When a facility has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This particular nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is a poor score. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 61.904762 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
