Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best category is short-term care, but it nevertheless earned just a D in that area. This ended up being a well below average grade. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.1 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. The nursing score analyzes quite a few datapoints, however, the most important one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth category, this facility did not perform well in this area either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 55.8669 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
