Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our short-term care rating. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. In computing our nursing grades, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This particular facility averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is far below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections
Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 6 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines recently in excess of $50,000. This usually signifies that government inspectors became fed up after several years of failed inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is long-term care, where this nursing home received a poor score in this category as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
