Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Although this nursing home's overall score was terrible, it actually fared well in long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. This is one of the only positive things we can write about this nursing home. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 95.1654 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. Unfortunately, this ended up being its second best grade. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had potential to cause actual harm to patients. You generally want to avoid facilities with poor inspection reports containing severe deficiencies.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. When computing a facility's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at is short-term care. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. Our short-term care scores are presumably more critical for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. As you might expect, we found that this place offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
