Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform as poorly in nursing. We awarded it a B- for this area. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't fare too badly in the category of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a grade of B- in that area, which turned out to be among its more favorable grades. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to score a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.52273 percent of its residents. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility only received a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which is not a very good score. In crafting these short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. With its grade in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 2.1 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
Facility Inspections
In our last category of inspections, this nursing home received an F in this area. For places with bad inspection scores, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility had 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
