Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Neither this place's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best area was short-term care, but even there it received a lowly D. This is still a poor score. In forming our short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this nursing home earned an F for its inspection rating. This is a very important category. Grades in this range typically point to some red flags on the nursing home's inspection reports. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This facility had 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility wound up receiving a bottom of the barrel grade in our long-term care area. It was given an F in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 78.37838 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
Nurse Quality
The final category we analyzed is nursing. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is a poor grade. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these data points to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
