Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade assesses several subcategories, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of long-term care, this facility received just a D in that category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better features. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated just 73.699425 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's third best category is short-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared relatively poorly. In our short-term care score, we try to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With its poor grade in this area, we weren't stunned to find this facility provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
In the last category of government inspections, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our inspection category. This proved to be this facility's worst grade. We take a poor score in this category very seriously. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
