Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This place did not receive any respectable grades. Its most concerning score may be its inspection score, where we gave it an F. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We would pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this place received large government fines totaling over $100,000. This usually means that a facility's poor performance spanned multiple years.
Long-term Care Quality
Tragically, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care score. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 96.941895 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing grade includes several factors, but the paramount one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. With only 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was short-term care, in which this facility was given a rock bottom grade here as well. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
