Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for short-term care. Our short-term care grades are considered to be most meaningful for residents in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an D. Our nursing rating analyzes quite a few factors, but the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's inspection rating where it received an F. For facilities that received this poor of an inspection score, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility had 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines totaling more than $100,000. This typically signifies that a nursing home's bad performance spanned more than one year.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was long-term care. We gave it an F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated just 80.64516 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
