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 score is based on many components, but the main one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving residents at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we awarded this facility a grade of C for its long-term care grade, which isn't a bad grade. In crafting our long-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's personal care services. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care grade, which is not one of our better scores. Our short-term care ratings are important for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected here. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
In our last area of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. Since this information is compiled by government inspectors, we heavily weight poor results in this area. For nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection rating, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility had 6 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines of over $50,000. This usually suggests that inspectors became fed up after multiple years of bad inspections.
