Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom scores in our assessment. Perhaps most alarmingly, it received an F for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more meaningful for those requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With a grade in this range in this area, we were not stunned to discover that this place was below average in several staffing figures we looked at. The nursing home offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
Facility Inspections
This facility earned really poor government inspection reports in recent years, causing us to give them an F for inspections. An F in this category is typically a signal that we found some major red flags on its government inspection reports. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection score. We recommend you pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed large government fines in recent years of more than $100,000. This generally indicates that a poor performance spanned multiple years.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home's was given a rock-bottom long-term care grade where it was given an F. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. 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
Moving on to our next category, this facility did not perform very well in this area either. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Nursing grades are largely based on the facility's nurse staffing. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these metrics hurt this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
