Facility Inspections
Sadly, we did not have any good things to say about this facility's overall grade or its other ratings. Its best category was the area of inspections. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still performed relatively badly. Inspection grades weigh many items found on the nursing home's inspection reports. If you see severe deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is typically a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines totaling over $100,000. This often indicates that a nursing home's poor performance has been an issue for several years.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility ended up receiving a rock-bottom grade in our short-term care area. It was given a lowly F in this area. In crafting our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. With a score in this range in this category, we were not shocked to learn this facility was well below average in multiple staffing metrics we focus on. The facility provided significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
Nurse Quality
The last category we graded was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is a very poor grade. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
