Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it earned a better long-term care rating this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. In the category of long-term care, we look at the quantity of services provided by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Sadly, this facility's second best category was inspections, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. Generally, you should be more cautious when considering a facility that has severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This particular facility had 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 5 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at is short-term care, where this facility was given an F. In computing our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
The last category we looked at was nursing. It received a lowly F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. We analyzed the levels of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To pair with its below average totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home had poor marks in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining falls leading to serious injury. This place was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is quite concerning in light of the fact that so many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of receiving a poor nursing grade.
