Long-term Care Quality
Although we graded this facility extremely poorly overall, it earned a better long-term care grade this year. We gave it a C in that category, which is the closest thing to a bright spot we could find for this facility. For patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 49.671055 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is several points less than what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we awarded this facility a C for its short-term care score, which isn't a bad grade. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most meaningful for residents needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections
Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. We recommend you pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received large government fines of more than $100,000. This generally means that a nursing home's bad track record spanned multiple years.
Nurse Quality
The next category we scored was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. The nursing grade analyzes many data points, however, the main one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
