Long-term Care Quality
While we graded this nursing home extremely poorly overall, it received a more respectable long-term care grade this year. We gave it a C in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we were able to find for this place. In the category of long-term care, we assess the amount of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.64865 percent of its patients. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Nursing grades are primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility just a D for our short-term care rating. This is not one of our better scores. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Given its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Turning the final category of inspections, this facility really did not fare well. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection category. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection grade. We would scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
