Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we found for this nursing home. In forming our short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. Unfortunately, this ended up being its second best grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This facility was hit with one category J through K deficiency, which rank among the worst categories of deficiencies. On top of having severe deficiencies, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a poor score in this area as well. We gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously a major concern. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 89.3617 percent of its residents. This is multiple points lower than the national average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
