Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall score, we awarded it a B- for our nursing category. In determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the amount of time nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This facility provided just 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't perform too badly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for that category, which ended up being another one of its more favorable scores. With our short-term care score, we attempt to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second lowest score was long-term care, where it received just a D in that category. This is a relatively poor grade. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 82.27273 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Facility Inspections
The final category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home didn't receive favorable inspections in recent years. Consequently, we had to give it an F in this category. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
