Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we gave it a B in the category of nursing. There are several factors included in this category. Many of the factors relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving residents more frequently.
Facility Inspections
This facility received just a D in the area of inspections. Sadly, this was its second best grade. One of the more significant factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This facility had 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines of over $100,000. This often indicates that a nursing home'sbad performance spanned multiple years.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is not a score to write home about. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most critical for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we were not stunned to find that this place was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was long-term care. This nursing home received an abysmal grade of F in that category. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 79.319374 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
