Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care score this year. We gave it a B- in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we could find for this facility. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 6.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't fare too badly in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a grade of B- in that category, which ended up being among its more favorable grades. Our long-term care scores are more important for residents requiring more traditional assistance related to personal care. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to just 59.82906 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with patients, in determining our score in this area. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. We weight this category more heavily than our other categories. For nursing homes with bad inspection ratings, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which are among the more severe categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies found by inspectors had potential to create actual harm to residents. We are also concerned by the fact that this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
