Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
We did not have any positive things to say about this nursing home's overall grade or its category grades. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still performed relatively badly. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to just 32.63288 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, this nursing home received just a D in this area. Sadly, this wound up being one of its better grades. Short-term care grades are meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score of this caliber for this area, we were not shocked to learn that this facility was well below average in several staffing areas we focus on. The nursing home supplied far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.6 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.

The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to patient safety or health. 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.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a rock bottom score. The nursing category analyzes several data points, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
