Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom grades in our analysis. Perhaps most alarmingly, it received an F for its inspection grade. Typically, this means we found some red flags on its government inspections. For places that received this poor of an inspection score, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This nursing home was assessed a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies found by CMS had potential to create actual harm to residents. Finally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines of more than $100,000. This typically means that a facility's poor performance has been an issue for more than one year.
Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
Our third area we assessed is long-term care, where this nursing home received an F. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 91.39344 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home did not perform well in this category either. Due to a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. In forming these short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Given its weak rating in this area, we weren't stunned to find this nursing home offers substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.3 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
