Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most important for folks requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
Nurse Quality
This facility excelled in our nursing category, where it received an C. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Nursing scores are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.

Facility Inspections
This facility received very poor inspections in recent years, causing them to receive an F for inspections. An F in this category is usually a sign that we found red flags on the facility's inspection reports. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We would scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to resident safety or health. 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 last category we looked at was long-term care. This facility received a poor grade of F in this area. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 87.005646 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
