Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our short-term care rating. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is considered to be a reliable measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection score. Typically, this means we found some major red flags on its inspection reports. When a nursing home has this bad of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This facility had 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we also want to point out that this facility received significant government fines of over $100,000. This usually indicates that a facility'sbad track record has been an issue for several years.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing score is primarily based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was long-term care, in which this facility was given a rock bottom score here also. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is definitely a major disappointment. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 96.40288 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
