Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Even though we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable short-term care rating this year. We gave it a B- in that area. In determining these short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we awarded this facility an C. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses spend with residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this subcategory.

Long-term Care Quality
We were also surprised to learn that this nursing home earned a solid long-term care score this year. We gave it a C in that area. Long-term care grades assess a facility's personal care instead of the highly skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very solid statistic. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Moving on the final category of government inspections, we gave this facility just a D for our inspection category. This proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We take a weak grade in this category very seriously. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. You should be more cautious when considering a facility that has severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This nursing home had 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
