Nurse Quality
While we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B- for our nursing rating. The nursing score features many factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, while this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this area.
Facility Inspections
Interestingly, this nursing home's terrible overall grade can't really be attributed to its government inspection reports. We awarded it a C for our inspections category. Inspection ratings are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This facility had 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This means that it dodged the more significant classes of deficiencies. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next highest score is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively badly. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. Our short-term care grades are important for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With a grade of this caliber in this area, we were not surprised to learn this facility was below average in several staffing metrics we focus on. The nursing home provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
