Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care rating this year. We gave it a B- in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we can find for this nursing home. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this nursing home an D. Our nursing rating consists of several factors, but the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections
We wanted to point out this facility's inspection score where it received an F. This generally means we found red flags on its government inspections. When a place has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This particular nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, we also want to point out that this facility was assessed significant government fines recently of more than $100,000. This typically means that a nursing home's bad performance has been an issue for several years.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final area, this facility did not perform well in this category either. With a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. We were a bit worried that this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 74.09163 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
