Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our short-term care rating. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Our nursing score is largely based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving residents at least once a day.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed large government fines totaling over $100,000. This typically indicates that a bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next area, this facility really did not perform well in this category either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. Nursing homes that don't score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated only 86.61202 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
