Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B for our short-term care score. Short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Nursing scores are primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of long-term care, this nursing home received a grade of just D in this area. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
The last category we assessed is inspections. This facility did not receive positive inspection reports in recent years. In fact, we had to give it an F here. With facilities that received this poor of an inspection rating, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines of over $100,000. This generally means that a nursing home's bad performance spanned multiple years.
