Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it received a respectable score in the area of short-term care. We awarded it a B- for that category. This bailed out its overall grade to a degree. Short-term care grades are typically employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of C. In calculating our nursing scores, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality
The third best area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. Long-term care scores are vital for residents in need of personal care. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.71346 percent of its residents, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Turning our last area of inspections, this nursing home received an F in this area. Since this data is collected by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight negative feedback in this category. With nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility had 7 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we also would like to point out that this nursing home was assessed large government fines recently exceeding $50,000. This generally suggests that CMS inspectors became frustrated after several years of bad health inspections.
