Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 7 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
This facility's short-term care rating turns out to be one of its best features. The facility was given a grade of C in this category. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this nursing home only earned a D for its long-term care score, which is not a very good score. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.4375 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed was nursing, where this facility received a rock bottom grade here as well. It received an F for this category, which is obviously a major concern. We weighed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses spent with patients, in computing our score in this category. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to ranking below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor scores in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in both of these metrics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores helped pull down this facility's nursing grade significantly.
