Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Neither this facility's overall grade nor its category grades gave us anything positive to point out. Its best area was short-term care, but even there it received a lowly D. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's second most respectable score is long-term care. However, with a D in this category, it still performed relatively badly. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 99.85876 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, with a grade of D in the inspection category, this facility performed relatively poorly in that area. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home had 11 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its 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
Switching gears to our next area, we awarded this facility a grade of D for our nursing category. This is the facility's worst category grade. Our nursing rating assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
