Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. There are numerous subcategories included in this grade. Most of the subcategories are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to learn that this nursing home earned a somewhat respectable short-term care score in our assessment. We gave it a B- in that category. Our short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular facility was hit with 3 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 patient 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.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care, which was a weak spot for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in long-term care. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
