Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
We just couldn't find anything positive to say about this facility. It received a just D in nursing. Unfortunately, this is its best score. We analyzed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses were with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This place provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is not great. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care rating and that actually wound up as its next most favorable score. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 96.167244 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out this nursing home's inspection grade where it received an F. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed large government fines recently of over $100,000. This usually means that a poor performance has been an issue for more than one year.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is an abysmal score. Our short-term care grades are likely more meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
