Short-term Care Quality
Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care score this year. We gave it a C in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we found for this facility. In determining our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is considered to be a reliable assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of D. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. 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. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
This place received a lowly F for its inspection score. For facilities that received this bad of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was assessed 12 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines recently totaling more than $100,000. This generally means that a poor performance has been an issue for multiple years.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is long-term care. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in this category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. One of the data points we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 44.475918 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
