Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. Our nursing grade includes several datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is significantly below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The second highest category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are generally employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest area ended up being long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 93.84615 percent of its patients. This is slightly less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it a just D in this category. Inspection scores relate to a nursing home's inspections. We weight poor inspection grades heavily in our assessment. Since government inspection reports are compiled by independent government inspectors, we consider this data to be reliable. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. You should be most cautious when considering a nursing home with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular facility had 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
