Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that had too many severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's litany of rock-bottom scores was its F in the category of short-term care. In computing these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Based on its abysmal grade in this category, we were not shocked to discover this facility offers substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
Another concern is the F this nursing home was given in the category of long-term care. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 16.549295 percent of its residents. This is many points lower than what we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our next area, this facility really did not fare well here either. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of skill of those nurses. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
