Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we were down on this facility overall, we awarded it a B+ in nursing. The nursing rating assesses a handful of components, but the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning a patient more often.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's long-term care score appears to be one of its best features. The nursing home received a grade of B- in this category. Long-term care ratings are vital for prospective residents requiring personal care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.9885 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care score, which is not one of our better scores. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Given its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Facility Inspections
The final category we looked at is inspections. Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. As a result, we had to give it an F. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We suggest you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had the potential to cause actual harm to patients. Lastly, we also need to point out that this place received significant government fines of more than $100,000. This typically signifies that a bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.
