Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually performed pretty well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with too many severe deficiencies flagged. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This facility really excelled in nursing, where it earned a grade of C. Few facilities performed better in this category. Nursing ratings are mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in that category. Short-term care grades are often used to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Based on its abysmal rating in this category, we were not shocked to find that this nursing home provides significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was long-term care. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is a poor grade. Facilities that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. We were a bit alarmed this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 58.095238 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
