Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our long-term care rating. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After we finished assessing the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated only 68.86447 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home performed well in inspections as well. In fact, we gave it a B- for this category, which is a respectable grade. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's next highest score was short-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. Short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Based on its score in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected here. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we analyzed is nursing. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in this category. In computing our nursing ratings, we look at both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. In addition to performing badly in terms of nursing hours, this facility also had terrible marks in the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing scores. For starters, we looked at the percent of patients sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than double the national average in both of these statistics.
