Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place averages 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this metric. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The second highest category we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The critical question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Our inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to present an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was long-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. One of the data points we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
