Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we graded this place incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned a fairly impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our more favorable scores in that area with a B. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that had too many deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as 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 couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home ended up receiving a bottom of the barrel score in our short-term care area. It was given an F in this area. In crafting these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. As you might expect, we found that this facility provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical nursing home. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.

The final category we scored was long-term care. This facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 89.333336 percent of its residents. This is several points lower than the national average. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
