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 category. Our short-term care scores are vital for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. We weighed the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with patients, in calculating our grade in this category. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning residents at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to learn that this facility earned a solid long-term care score this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Long-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of care. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our last area of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. For facilities with bad inspection scores, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility was assessed 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to patient safety or health. 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.
