Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B- for our inspections rating. This grade is more respectable than the facility's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. It does not look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Long-term Care Quality
The second best area we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.736145 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the area of short-term care, where it received a C. In our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we scored was nursing, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. Our nursing grade is based on many data points, however, the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
