Short-term Care Quality
We weren't high on this nursing home's overall grade or its category grades. We gave it just a D for our short-term care score and that sadly turned out to be its highest score. Short-term care scores are important for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical nursing home. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.9 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an D. The nursing score considers a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility received very poor inspections in recent years, causing us to give them a lowly F in our inspection category. An F in this area is generally a sign that we found red flags on the facility's inspections. When a facility has this poor of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this nursing home didn't fare very well in this area either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is about as terrible as it gets. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated just 90.28213 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
