Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While this facility's overall score was abysmal, it didn't perform terribly in the area of short-term care. We awarded it a B- for that category, which is a decent score. However, this was not enough to save its overall profile. In calculating our short-term care scores, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is typically a solid assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Facility Inspections
As it turns out, its government inspection reports were not the source of this nursing home's bottom of the barrel overall grade. In fact, it earned a C in this category. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This means that inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. There are numerous subcategories included in this category. Many of these datapoints are tied to nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 96.969696 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
