Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't perform poorly in the category of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a C in that category, which happens to be among its higher grades. In our short-term care category, we seek to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. In determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses are caring for residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed was long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.09849 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is slightly lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
