Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our short-term care rating. Short-term care grades are crucial for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last item we considered in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the amount of time nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility received a lowly F for its inspection grade. For nursing homes with bad inspection scores, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility was hit with 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to resident health or safety. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is a poor score. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.93238 percent of its patients, which is an above average statistic. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
