Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care score, which was actually one of its more favorable category scores. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a score this poor in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was well below average in many staffing metrics we assess. The nursing home supplied far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best score was long-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared somewhat badly. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to just 71.55963 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Nurse Quality
This facility's worst category was nursing, which is the last area we assessed. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of just D. Our nursing rating consists of a handful of subcategories, however, the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This number is significantly below the national average. This nursing home also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than twice the national average in this metric. This is alarming when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of earning a very poor nursing grade.
