Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we graded this facility incredibly unfavorably overall, it earned a decent short-term care grade this year. We gave it a B in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. It doesn't look like this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. There are a host of subcategories within this category. Most of these factors relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This place offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received significant government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This usually indicates that a nursing home's bad performance spanned multiple years.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, this nursing home didn't fare well in this area either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
