Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
We could not find anything good to say about this facility. It received just a D in the area of long-term care. Sadly, this ended up being its best category. For patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Nursing grades are primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was short-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. With our short-term care assessment, we attempt to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Considering its poor rating in this area, we were not shocked to find this nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.7 percent of its patients returning home.
