Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Neither this nursing home's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best category was long-term care, but even there it received a grade of just D. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 79.79452 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is quite a bit less than average. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a D for its short-term care score, which happens to be one of its better category scores. Our short-term care grade is typically used to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. When calculating our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses.

Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Facility Inspections
Turning our last category of inspections, this facility received an F here. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular nursing home was assessed a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more severe categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by the government inspectors had potential to cause actual harm to patients. In addition to having severe deficiencies, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
