Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility an abysmal overall grade, we gave it a B- for our nursing category. Our nursing score is based on a host of factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is far below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also surprised to discover that this nursing home earned a decent short-term care grade in our assessment. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
The last category we assessed is inspections. This facility did not receive positive government inspections in recent years. As a result, we gave it an F here. When a place has this bad of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
