Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we gave this place a poor overall grade, we gave it a B for our inspections rating. This is the result of the facility receiving a quality government inspection report this year. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care score, which ended up being one of its more favorable category grades. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is typically a useful assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. With its poor score in this category, we weren't surprised to find this place provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.7 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this nursing home an F in the category of long-term care. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.723755 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The next area we assessed was nursing, where this facility received a very poor score in this category as well. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. Our nursing score includes quite a few components, but the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. On top of receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and found this place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This statistic really dragged down this facility's nursing rating significantly.
