Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care rating this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. Our short-term care ratings are important for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. Our nursing score is primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, our nursing ratings also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this place received a lowly F for its inspection grade. For places with bad inspection scores, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 61 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated was long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is an abysmal score. For residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
