Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our nursing rating. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care rating and that actually turned out to be its second most respectable score. In our short-term care assessment, we seek to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With a score this poor for this category, we weren't shocked to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assess. The nursing home provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.3 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home ended up receiving a a very poor grade in our long-term care area. It received an F in this category. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our final category of inspections, this facility received a terrible score. We weight this category more heavily than our other categories. For places that received this poor of an inspection grade, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines recently amounting to over $100,000. This typically indicates that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for multiple years.
