Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we gave it a grade of B for our inspections category. This was due to the nursing home receiving a decent government inspection report this year. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't rate poorly in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a C for that category, which turned out to be among its more respectable grades. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 86.53061 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points less than the national average. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. There are numerous datapoints within this area. Many of the subcategories relate to staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this facility really didn't perform well in this category either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. As you might expect, we discovered that this facility provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.7 percent of its patients returning home.
