Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it earned a better long-term care grade this year. We gave it a B- in that category. Our long-term care grades are pivotal for residents seeking personal care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.728264 percent of its patients. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home excelled in the area of nursing, where it earned a grade of D. Nursing grades are mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This place offered a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections
Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. It doesn't appear that we were able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next area, this facility really did not fare well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Our short-term care grade is typically used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical nursing home. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
