Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Even though this place's overall grade was abysmal, it didn't perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for that area, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to salvage its otherwise poor profile. Our long-term care grade assesses a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.43503 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
As it turns out, its inspection reports were not the source of this nursing home's bottom of the barrel overall grade. It received a C in this category. Inspection ratings are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This nursing home had 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This means that it dodged the more significant categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. In computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses are with patients and the level of skill of those nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is short-term care, proved to be this facility's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a D in this area. In determining our short-term care scores, we analyze a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is typically a useful measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Given its grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the figures we assessed. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
