Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable short-term care score this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. Short-term care scores are meaningful for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Nursing grades are largely associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's third best score was long-term care. However, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat poorly. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 94.31138 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our final category of inspections, this facility received an abysmal grade. We weight this grade more heavily than other categories. When a facility has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This facility was assessed 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 resident safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
