Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This facility didn't perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. We gave it a B- for that area. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 93.92857 percent of its residents. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Tragically, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care score. Short-term care grades are typically employed to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. As you might expect, we discovered that this facility offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical nursing home. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this facility's short-term care score.

Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out this facility's inspection rating where it received a lowly F. For places with bad inspection grades, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular nursing home had 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created 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.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our last area, this facility really didn't fare very well here either. With a very poor grade of F in nursing, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. Our nursing grade is based on a handful of factors, many of which are associated with nursing hours. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below average. In addition to ranking below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor marks in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in both of these metrics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These metrics pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
