Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. There are several datapoints included in this category. Many of the factors reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, while this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this facility an F in the category of short-term care. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is considered to be a useful measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. With a score in this range in this category, we weren't shocked to discover that this nursing home was well below average in many staffing figures we focus on. It supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

Facility Inspections
Among this facility's alarming category grades was a lowly F for its inspection rating. Typically, this indicates we found some red flags on the nursing home's government inspections. For places with bad inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility had 7 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we also would like to point out that this nursing home was assessed large government fines in recent years in excess of $50,000. This generally means that CMS inspectors became frustrated after several years of bad government inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is long-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in that category. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
