Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable short-term care rating this year. We gave it a B- in that area. In computing these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. 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 bearing this had on quality of care. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this facility a B- for its long-term care rating, which really isn't a bad grade. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.35526 percent of its patients, which is more than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. The nursing grade is based on many factors, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our last category of inspections, this facility received a terrible score. When a facility has this bad of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
