Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While this nursing home's overall score was rock bottom, it actually didn't perform as poorly in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for this category. The nursing grade includes numerous subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't fare too badly in the category of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which wound up being another one of its better grades. Our long-term care scores are based in part on a facility's amount of nursing care. This means a vast range of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in that category. In forming our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Based on its weak rating in this area, we weren't stunned to learn this place offers substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
The last category we looked at is inspections. This ended up being this facility's worst grade. We gave it a score of D in this category. Since this data is collected by government inspectors, we weight it heavily in our grading. Our inspection ratings weigh many items on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. When you see too many deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is generally a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This particular facility had 15 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
