Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While we gave this facility a terrible overall score, we gave it a grade of C for short-term care. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our nursing rating considers a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this metric. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a patient more often.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't fare terribly in the category of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a grade of C for that category, which happens to be among its more favorable grades. Our long-term care grade focuses on a nursing home's personal care instead of the skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 93.10345 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility did not receive a favorable inspection rating. We gave it just a just D in this category. Inspection ratings relate to a nursing home's inspection reports. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility had a deficiency by CMS. Fortunately, it wasn't in a category that suggests that it created a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we also want to point out that this place received significant government fines totaling more than $100,000. This usually suggests that a nursing home's poor performance has been an issue for more than one year.
