Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was as bad as it gets, it actually fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid facilities that had too many severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of F. The nursing rating includes several components, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
Another unfortunate development is the F this nursing home received in the category of long-term care. Facilities that don't score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 67.27829 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was short-term care, in which this nursing home received a poor grade here as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a grade in this range in this area, we were not shocked to learn that this facility was below average in many staffing figures we looked at. In fact, it offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
