Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Even though we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we gave it a C for our short-term care rating. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an D. We assessed the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating. One of the more important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. Tragically, this place was assessed several category J through L deficiencies. This indicates multiple widespread deficiencies putting patient health or safety in immediate danger. These deficiencies are very damaging to a nursing home's inspection rating. Another area of concern is that 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
This nursing home's least impressive area was long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. For this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 89.48375 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
