Short-term Care Quality
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it didn't perform terribly in short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to save its overall profile. In calculating these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. 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. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an C. Our nursing rating features a variety of subcategories. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility provides only 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning a patient even once per day.

Facility Inspections
We wanted to draw your attention to this place's inspection rating where it received a lowly F. This often means we found red flags on its government inspection reports. When a place has this bad of an inspection grade, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular facility was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines in recent years amounting to more than $100,000. This often means that a facility's bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a very poor score in this category as well. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 92.67242 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
