Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable short-term care score this year. We gave it a C in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we can find for this place. Short-term care scores are vital for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Facility Inspections
We wanted to point out that this facility received an F for its inspection grade. An F in this category is especiallY troublesome because it usually points to major red flags on the nursing home's inspection reports. For places with poor inspection ratings, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received significant government fines exceeding $50,000. This generally suggests that inspectors became fed up after multiple years of failed health inspections.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home really didn't fare well in this category either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. Nursing homes that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to just 85.06787 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
