Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a C in nursing. This grade is more respectable than its overall rating. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The second best category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a C. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
We gave this facility just a D for our long-term care grade. This is not a score to write home about. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 91.55313 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
Facility Inspections
This facility did not receive a favorable inspection grade. We gave it a score of just D in this category. Inspection ratings relate to a facility's government inspection reports. We weight poor inspection grades heavily in our assessment. Since government inspections are compiled by independent government inspectors, we consider this data to be very reliable. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 19 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
