Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we gave it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing score weighs a handful of datapoints, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. While this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed well in this metric. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a patient more often.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to find that this nursing home earned a decent short-term care rating in our assessment. We awarded it a C in this area. Short-term care ratings are vital for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Facility Inspections
We wanted to point out that this facility received an F for its inspection rating. An F in this area is very concerning because it usually points to red flags on the nursing home's government inspections. When a place has this poor of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This facility had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at is long-term care. This nursing home received a very poor grade of F in this area. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated just 68.24926 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
