Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We would argue that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's second best score is short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat poorly. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is generally a solid measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Not surprisingly, we found that this place provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical nursing home. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.8 percent of its patients returning home.

Nurse Quality
We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing. In fact, we awarded it a grade of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. Our nursing score assesses a handful of subcategories, however, the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This number is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is long-term care, in which this facility was given a poor grade in this area also. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. Facilities that do not score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated just 79.44785 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
