Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating is primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This place averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we awarded this facility a grade of B- for its short-term care grade, which really isn't too bad of a score. In forming these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The critical question is whether this also affected quality of care. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to find that this facility earned a solid long-term care score in our assessment. We awarded it a C in this area. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 83.83234 percent of its patients. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Turning the last category of inspections, this nursing home had an abysmal showing. It received an F in our inspection rating. For nursing homes with poor inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
