Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that area with an A-. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care rating, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most important for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its abysmal grade in this area, we weren't shocked to learn that this place provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we graded is long-term care. This facility's was given an unfortunate long-term care score where it received a lowly F. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed was nursing. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor score. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
