Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing category. In computing our nursing scores, we weigh both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. Although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this metric. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning a patient more often.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to discover that this facility earned a solid short-term care rating this year. We gave it a C in that area. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most meaningful for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, 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 assessed. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't perform terribly in the category of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of C in that area, which ended up being among its more favorable grades. In determining our long-term care scores, we look at the personal care offered to the facility's patients. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 55.532356 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
The last category we looked at was inspections. Unfortunately, this ended up being this facility's worst grade. We gave it a grade of just D in this category. Since this information is collected by independent government inspectors, we weight it heavily in our grading. Inspection grades factor in many items found on the facility's recent inspection reports. If you find too many deficiencies on the reports, this is typically the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This nursing home had 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
