Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Even though we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we gave it a grade of B- for short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are vital for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was awarded a grade of just D in this category. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 86.666664 percent of its residents. This is multiple points below what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
Facility Inspections
The final category we looked at was inspections. This ended up being this nursing home's weakest link. We gave it a D in this area. Since this information is compiled by independent government inspectors, we weight it heavily in our overall grade. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. You should be especially cautious when considering a facility with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 3 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
