Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates that it avoided the more significant classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility ended up receiving a bottom of the barrel grade in our short-term care area. It received an F in this category. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. With a score in this range in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home was well below average in two of the key staffing figures we assess. The nursing home offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care. This facility received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 57.11111 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be significantly below the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
