Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we gave this facility a terrible overall score, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing category. The nursing score includes several subcategories, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other facilities. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this subcategory. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving residents more often.
Facility Inspections
This facility didn't perform terribly in the category of inspections. We awarded it a C for that category. Other categories were the source of this facility's abysmal overall score. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place had 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in category J, K or L. This means inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to place patient safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second worse category was short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average score. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Based on its poor grade in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this facility provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is long-term care, where this facility received a poor score in this category as well. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 70.909096 percent of its residents. This is many points less than average. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
