Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a poor overall grade, we actually gave it a fairly respectable grade in nursing, where it received a B-. This was certainly better than its other category grades. In computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning a patient more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received its next best category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a respectable grade. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next best area turned out to be its long-term care score, where it received a grade of C. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. For facilities with bad inspection grades, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this facility received large government fines of over $100,000. This usually indicates that a nursing home's poor performance spanned more than one year.
