Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall score, we awarded it a B- for our nursing rating. There are a number of datapoints included in this grade. Many of the criteria reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we gave this facility a B- for our short-term care rating, which isn't too bad of a score. Short-term care grades are critical for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out this facility's inspection grade where it received a lowly F. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection grade. We would pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility had 9 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this place received large government fines recently of more than $100,000. This typically suggests that a bad performance spanned several years.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, this facility really didn't fare very well here either. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. For patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 94.44445 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
