Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility some really poor grades. Among them were its F for its nursing grade. Nursing grades are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this nursing home earned an F for its inspection score. This is a very important category. Grades in this range generally point to some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. When a place has this bad of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home was assessed a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by inspectors had the potential to cause actual harm to patients. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed large government fines recently in excess of $50,000. This usually signifies that government inspectors grew tired after several years of failed health inspections.

Long-term Care Quality
Our next area we assessed was long-term care, in which this facility received an F. Long-term care scores in this range 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. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 50.526318 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit lower than average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is a rock bottom score. With our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Based on its score in this area, we were not surprised to find that this place is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
