Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall score was not a highlight, it actually received a slightly more favorable score in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B- for that area, which is a decent score. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable area was its short-term care grade, where it received a grade of B-. In crafting our short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we assessed was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a C. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 91.04478 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a bit lower than we expected but still a decent percentage. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed is nursing, which turned out to be this facility's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in this category. We weighed the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses were with residents, in determining our rating in this category. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these scores hurt this nursing home's nursing grade significantly.
