Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a relatively impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our more favorable grades in that area with a B+. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid facilities that have a long list of severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also surprised to learn that this nursing home earned a reasonably solid short-term care grade this year. We awarded it a C in that area. In computing our short-term care scores, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This category is frequently a reliable assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home's was given a poor long-term care grade where it was given a lowly F. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated only 47.96163 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our final area, this facility did not fare well in this category either. With a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. Nursing grades are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
