Nurse Quality
Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. Our nursing rating weighs many subcategories. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area is its short-term care score, where it received a B-. Short-term care scores are critical for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Our long-term care ratings are more critical for folks in need of more conventional services related to activities of daily living. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 98.8417 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
In the last category of inspections, this nursing home had an abysmal showing. It received an F in our inspection rating. For nursing homes with bad inspection scores, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility was hit with 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat 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.
