Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall score, we gave it a B- for our nursing rating. We assessed the levels of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses were with residents, in calculating our score in this area. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also surprised to learn that this nursing home earned a solid short-term care grade in our assessment. We gave it a B- in that area. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next highest score is long-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared relatively badly. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 96.6805 percent of its residents, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
Moving on the final category of inspections, this facility really did not fare well. It received an F in our inspection rating. For places with poor inspection scores, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This particular facility had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to patient safety or health. 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.
