Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This place actually did not perform quite as poorly in long-term care. We awarded it a B- for that category. Our long-term care grades are more important for residents needing more conventional services related to activities of daily living. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. The nursing rating is based on many datapoints. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is quite a bit below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility received really weak inspections in recent years, causing them to receive a lowly F for inspections. An F in this category is usually a sign that we found some red flags on the nursing home's inspections. With facilities that received this bad of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was hit with 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, we also would like to point out that this facility was assessed significant government fines of over $50,000. This generally suggests that inspectors became frustrated after several years of bad inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category. In computing our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is generally a fair measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
