Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B for our short-term care rating. In computing these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care score. This is well below average in this category. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 98.348625 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. We weight this category more heavily than our other categories. For nursing homes with poor inspection grades, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility had 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, we want to point out that this nursing home received significant government fines in recent years in excess of $50,000. This typically indicates that government inspectors grew tired after several years of failed health inspections.
