Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
The main thing propping up this facility's profile is its elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this nursing home an A in that category. Nursing grades are largely tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a solid grade in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Our short-term care scores are vital for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a solid score in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. With our long-term care score, we weigh the volume of services offered by a nursing home, along with a series of qualitative measures. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home gave the vaccine to only 29.285715 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. Nevertheless, this nursing home 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.
Facility Inspections
Turning the final category of inspections, this facility did not fare well. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection category. This dragged this facility's overall score down as we heavily weight this category. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection grade. We would pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by CMS had the potential to cause actual harm to residents. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed large government fines in recent years totaling more than $100,000. This typically indicates that a bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
