Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in nursing. We gave it a grade of B- for that category. In determining our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a middle of the pack grade in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. In calculating these short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility received its next most favorable category score in the area of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is an acceptable grade. With our long-term care score, we focus more on the amount of services provided by a facility, as well as a series of quality datapoints. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.59649 percent of its patients. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
In the final category of inspections, this facility had an abysmal showing. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection category. This is our most heavily weighted category in our overall grading system. For nursing homes with bad inspection scores, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to resident health or safety. 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.
