Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility an abysmal overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out this facility's inspection score where it received an F. This usually means we found some red flags on its inspection reports. When a facility has this bad of an inspection grade, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This nursing home had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we want to point out that this facility received large government fines in recent years totaling more than $100,000. This typically indicates that a nursing home'spoor track record spanned several years.

Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility provides significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, this nursing home really didn't fare well in this category either. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 69.49807 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
