Facility Inspections
This facility's scores are horrible across the board. In particular, we want to point out its inspection grade where we gave it an F. This isn't a good sign for its inspection reports. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we would like to point out that this facility was assessed significant government fines in recent years exceeding $50,000. This generally indicates that government inspectors became frustrated after several years of bad health inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility wound up receiving a a terrible grade in our long-term care category. It was given a lowly F in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 38.727272 percent of its patients. This is several points below average. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the last area, this facility really didn't perform very well here either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Our short-term care grade is typically used to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
