Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of C. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This means inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent danger to resident health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't fare too badly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C in that category, which wound up being another one of its better scores. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is more often than not a fair measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. We weighed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care. We gave it an F in this category, which is a rock bottom grade. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 17.452831 percent of its patients, which is somewhat concerning. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
