Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Even though this nursing home's overall score was abysmal, it actually didn't perform terribly in our short-term care category. We gave it a B- for that category, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to save its otherwise poor profile. With our short-term care assessment, we strive to create a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.9 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.
Facility Inspections
As it turns out, its inspection reports were not the source of this facility's bottom of the barrel overall grade. It earned a C in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. This nursing home had 15 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in categories J through L. This indicates that inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to place resident health or safety in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was long-term care. This nursing home received a rock bottom grade of F in that area. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.13899 percent of its residents, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
