Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
We weren't high on this nursing home's overall grades or its category scores. We gave it a grade of just just D for our nursing rating and that turned out to be its best score. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is slightly below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home just a D for our short-term care score and that actually ended up being its next most respectable score. With our short-term care score, we try to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Based on its poor grade in this area, we were not stunned to learn this place provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.

Facility Inspections
We wanted to draw your attention to this place's inspection rating where it received a lowly F. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection grade. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is a poor grade. Facilities that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility provided the vaccine to just 55.773956 percent of its residents, which is several points lower than we expected. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
