Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. In determining our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care grade and that actually wound up as its next most respectable category. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 96.484375 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections
Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility had 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines recently of more than $100,000. This usually means that a poor track record has been an issue for several years.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility really did not perform very well in this area either. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
