Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a poor overall grade, we also awarded this facility poor grades in the various categories. It only received a D for its inspections rating, which is its best area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. We recommend you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility had 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received significant government fines amounting to more than $100,000. This generally signifies that a bad track record spanned several years.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Nursing scores are largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's third highest category is long-term care. However, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat poorly. Nursing homes that don't score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to just 51.672863 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is short-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in this area. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Based on its grade in this area, we were not stunned to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
