Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with too many deficiencies flagged. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home just a D for our short-term care rating and that actually ended up being its second highest category. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below average.

Long-term Care Quality
Our third category we looked at was long-term care, where this nursing home was given an F. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 97.5 percent of its residents, which is more than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed was nursing. We gave it an F for this category, which is a rock bottom grade. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This number is far below average. Unfortunately, this facility also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its low nursing hours. For starters, we looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than double the national average in this statistic.
