Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall grade, we gave it a C for our nursing category. We looked at the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the number of hours the nurses were with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this statistic.
Facility Inspections
This facility didn't receive glowing government inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating and that actually turned out to be its second best grade. Our inspection grades factor in many items found on the facility's recent inspection reports. If you see too many deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is typically the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, we would like to point out that this place received large government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This typically indicates that a facility'sbad performance spanned more than one year.

Long-term Care Quality
Another concern is the F this nursing home was given in the area of long-term care. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 52.941177 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients 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
The next area we assessed was short-term care. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in that category. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more meaningful for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its score in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
