Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall score was terrible, it actually fared pretty well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Without having complete deficiency related data for this facility, it was a challenge to fully grade it in the inspections category.
Short-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for its short-term care rating, which isn't a bad grade. With our short-term care score, we endeavor to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
Tragically, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.56691 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The final area we graded was nursing. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a very poor score. When determining a facility's nursing score, we assess the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of training of those nurses. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these data points to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
