Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our short-term care rating. In our short-term care grade, we endeavor to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This place provided a meager 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This facility had 11 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines of over $100,000. This typically means that a facility's poor track record has been an issue for several years.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was long-term care. We gave it an F in this category, which is an abysmal score. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.36601 percent of its residents, which is higher than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
