Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Neither this facility's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this category. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is slightly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home didn't receive glowing government inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating and that actually proved to be its second highest grade. One of the more critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We would scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with one category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst deficiencies. This generally means that the government inspectors identified a deficiency which places patient safety or health in imminent danger. Lastly, we would like to point out that this place received significant government fines recently of more than $100,000. This typically signifies that a nursing home'spoor track record has been an issue for several years.

Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the area of long-term care. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility administered the vaccine to just 48.757763 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Our short-term care ratings are vital for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score this poor in this category, we were not shocked to learn this place was well below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
