Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B+ in the category of nursing. In determining a facility's nursing rating, we look at the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to learn that this nursing home earned a decent short-term care rating in our assessment. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. Our short-term care ratings are vital for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We would pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies identified by CMS had the potential to pose actual harm to patients. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed large government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This typically signifies that a bad track record spanned more than one year.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.921875 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
