Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility some really poor grades. Among them were its F for its short-term care grade. With our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this place offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned really poor government inspection reports in recent years, causing us to give them an F in our inspection category. An F in this category is typically a signal that we found some red flags on its inspection reports. When a facility has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular facility was hit with one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies identified by the government inspectors had the potential to pose actual harm to patients. In addition to having severe deficiencies, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Long-term Care Quality
Another unfortunate development was the F this facility received in the area of long-term care. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated just 64.55399 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is a very poor score. Nursing scores are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
