Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually received an impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which ended up being one of its higher category scores. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we looked at. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. In determining a facility's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents and the level of skill of those nurses. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in this area. For patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
