Long-term Care Quality
Even though we gave this facility a terrible overall score, we gave it a C for our long-term care rating. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for people requiring more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
This facility's second best category was inspections. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still performed relatively poorly. One of the most significant factors in evaluating inspection reports is deficiencies. We suggest you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was assessed a category J through K deficiency, which rank among the worst deficiencies. These categories mean that the government inspectors found a deficiency which puts resident safety or health in immediate danger. Finally, this facility also received 6 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is short-term care. This facility was given a poor grade of F in that category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. With a score in this range for this category, we weren't surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in multiple staffing metrics we assess. The nursing home offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
