Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it earned an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Despite this deficiency, this was still a relatively favorable inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home just a D for our short-term care score and that actually ended up being its next best score. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Considering its weak grade in this area, we were not stunned to discover that this place provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed 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 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second worse category was long-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a relatively poor grade. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our next category, this nursing home did not fare very well in this category either. Due to a very poor grade of F in nursing, this is really as terrible as it gets. When determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
