Short-term Care Quality
Even though this place's overall score was terrible, it actually fared well in the area of short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B for that area, which is one of our higher grades. This is one of the only good things we can say about this facility. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
Interestingly, this facility's terrible overall score can't really be attributed to its inspection reports. We gave it a grade of C for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This place was hit with 10 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled J through L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to place resident health or safety in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. We weighed the skill-level of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with patients, in computing our rating in this category. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care. Sadly, it received an F for this category, which is an abysmal score. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.77679 percent of its residents, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
