Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our more favorable scores in that category with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next most respectable score was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared relatively poorly. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this facility offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Another issue is the F this nursing home received in the area of long-term care. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The last category we assessed was nursing. This facility received a poor grade of F in that area. We assessed the levels of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time the nurses spent with patients, in computing our score in this category. With only 0.1 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. This facility also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This nursing home was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
