Short-term Care Quality
This facility earned a very good grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. With our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing score consists of several subcategories, however, the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

The next area we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home's was given a poor long-term care grade where it received an F. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated just 67.82609 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
Facility Inspections
In the final category of inspections, this nursing home had an abysmal showing. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection rating. This happens to be the most heavily weighted category in our grading system. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This facility was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by the government inspectors had potential to cause actual harm to residents. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this place received large government fines recently amounting to over $100,000. This often means that a nursing home's poor performance has been an issue for multiple years.
