Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
We could not find anything positive to say about this facility. It received a just D in nursing. Unfortunately, this is its best score. The nursing rating is based on several factors, but the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note that this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections
This place received a lowly F for its inspection score. This is an important category. Scores in this range typically point to red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. For nursing homes with poor inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility was assessed 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a rock bottom grade in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is obviously a major concern. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home gave the vaccine to only 80.68966 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
