Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While this facility's overall score was as bad as it gets, it didn't perform terribly in our short-term care rating. We awarded it a B- for that category, which is a decent score. That said, this was not enough to save its otherwise poor profile. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
Facility Inspections
This place's next best category was inspections, but even there it earned a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. One of the most significant factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in excess of $50,000. This usually means that government inspectors grew tired after several years of bad inspections.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. In computing our nursing scores, we look at both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was long-term care, where this facility received a rock bottom grade in this area as well. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is definitely a major concern. Facilities that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 48.82629 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly below what we expected. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
