Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
This nursing home did not receive any favorable grades. In particular, we gave it an F in the category of nursing. Our nursing grade weighs a host of datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is slightly below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
We also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was given an F for its long-term care score. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 61.78161 percent of its residents. This is many points lower than average. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections
Among this facility's alarming category grades was a lowly F for its inspection score. Typically, this indicates we found some red flags on the nursing home's inspections. For places with bad inspection scores, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility was hit with a category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst categories of deficiencies. This generally means that CMS identified a deficiency which places patient safety or health in imminent danger. We are also concerned by the fact that 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.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a rock bottom score here also. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. Short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
