Short-term Care Quality
Neither this facility's overall grade nor its category grades gave us anything positive to point out. Its best area was short-term care, but even there it received a lowly D. Our short-term care grade is typically used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. With its poor grade in this area, we weren't stunned to find this facility provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.2 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
Facility Inspections
This facility's next best category was inspections, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a very poor grade. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. You should be most cautious when considering a nursing home that has severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This nursing home had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we want to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines recently of more than $50,000. This generally signifies that CMS inspectors became frustrated after several years of bad health inspections.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. We looked at the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with residents, in determining our score in this category. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at is long-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in this area. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 95.12635 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
