Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though we graded this facility very poorly overall, it received a somewhat respectable nursing rating this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that area. The nursing rating assesses several datapoints, however, the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared to most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also surprised to learn that this nursing home received a decent short-term care score in our assessment. We gave it a C in that area. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our long-term care score. This is well below average in this category. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 88.47059 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Facility Inspections
In the final category of inspections, this facility had an abysmal showing. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection rating. This is the most heavily weighted category in our scoring system. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We recommend you pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines recently amounting to over $100,000. This often signifies that a facility's poor track record has been an issue for multiple years.
