Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a C in this area. When computing our nursing ratings, we weigh both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we gave this facility a C for its long-term care grade, which really isn't too bad of a score. In calculating our long-term care scores, we quantify the facility's personal care services. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 99.79339 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. We would scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility had 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, we would like to point out that this nursing home was assessed large government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This usually indicates that a nursing home's bad track record spanned multiple years.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was short-term care. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in this area. Short-term care grades are generally used to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. As you might expect, we discovered that this place provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
