Short-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our short-term care rating. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is often a useful assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. Unfortunately, this ended up being its second best grade. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. You should be most cautious when considering a facility with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines in recent years amounting to more than $100,000. This generally means that a bad track record has been an issue for several years.

Nurse Quality

Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next category, this facility didn't fare well in this area either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Facilities that don't score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated just 77.92207 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
