Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Neither this facility's overall score nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best category was nursing, but even there it received just a D. When determining our nursing grades, we weigh both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This place provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its long-term care rating, which happens to be one of its more favorable category grades. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 95.25692 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. One of the most significant factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care, which was this nursing home's worst category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that area. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
