Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. There are numerous subcategories included in this area. Many of the subcategories relate to levels of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't perform poorly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for that area, which turned out to be another one of its higher scores. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in this area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.15966 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 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
Moving on the last category of inspections, this ended up being this nursing home's weakest link. Inspection grades are based on a facility's recent government inspections. We gave this nursing home a D in this category, which is not a very good grade. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. You should be especially cautious when considering a nursing home with severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This particular nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
