Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we didn't give this facility a good overall score, we did give it a strong grade in nursing, where it earned a grade of B+. This is better than most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing rating weighs a number of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best area was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
This place received an F for its inspection score. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection grade. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This facility had 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also want to point out that this facility received large government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This often indicates that a bad performance spanned several years.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was long-term care. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in that category. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to only 63.8191 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
