Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Even though we were not high on this facility overall, we gave it a B for our long-term care rating. This grade is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Without this category, this place's profile would have been in serious trouble. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 86.32479 percent of its patients. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing score is largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's third highest category was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. In forming these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. We weight this category more heavily than our other categories. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We recommend you pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to patient safety or health. At the end of the day, there were not many highlights for this place in this area.
