Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though we graded this nursing home very poorly overall, it received a somewhat respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that area. There are many subcategories within this category. Many of the datapoints relate to levels of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared to most other nursing homes. Finally, while this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care score and that actually wound up as its next highest category. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Based on its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's third best category is long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed somewhat poorly. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 94.416245 percent of its patients, which is an above average total. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
This facility did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it a just D in this category. Inspection ratings relate to a facility's inspections. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. You should be most cautious when considering a facility with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This facility had 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also want to point out that this nursing home received significant government fines amounting to over $100,000. This generally signifies that a nursing home's bad track record spanned multiple years.
