Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care grade this year. We gave it a C in that area. Short-term care grades are typically employed to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Facility Inspections
As it turns out, its inspection reports were not the source of this facility's rock bottom overall grade. It earned a C in this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home had 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our long-term care score. This is not one of our better scores. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 97.60479 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the final category, this nursing home did not perform well in this category either. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is really as bad as it gets. When determining our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its low total nursing hours per patient, this place had really poor scores in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining falls leading to serious injury. This facility was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is concerning in light of the fact that many falls could be prevented with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of earning a poor nursing score.
