Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B+ for our short-term care rating. Short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. The nursing grade is based on a handful of components, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to draw your attention to this place's inspection rating where it received a lowly F. This usually means we found red flags on its government inspections. For facilities with poor inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines recently of over $100,000. This usually indicates that a nursing home's bad track record has been an issue for several years.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, this facility didn't perform well in this area either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. 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 patients. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 95.97315 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
