Short-term Care Quality
While this facility's overall grade wasn't a highlight, it earned a good score for short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is a solid score. This was a rare highlight in an otherwise lacking profile. In crafting our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
We awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our inspections rating. This score is more respectable than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection ratings are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This means that inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent danger to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this facility did not perform well in this category either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After considering the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 95.360825 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
