Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
We really were not high on this nursing home's overall grades or its category grades. We gave it just a just D for our nursing rating and that proved to be its highest grade. Our nursing rating includes a host of datapoints. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is slightly below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of short-term care, this facility was awarded a grade of just D in this area. Sadly, this wound up being its second best grade. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more meaningful for people in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Facility Inspections
We wanted to point out this place's inspection rating where it received a lowly F. This usually means we found some red flags on its inspections. When a facility has this poor of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This nursing home was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by the government inspectors had potential to create actual harm to residents. Another area of concern is that 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 area we scored is long-term care, in which this nursing home received a poor grade in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is definitely very concerning. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.32653 percent of its patients, which is higher than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
