Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable area ended up being its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The key is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed was long-term care, where this facility received an F. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 68.347336 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit less than the national average. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at is nursing, where this facility received a poor score in this category as well. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. In calculating our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Unfortunately, this facility also had abysmal marks in several of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hours. For starters, we looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than twice the national average in this datapoint.
