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. The nursing score assesses many datapoints, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a resident more often.
Facility Inspections
This place actually performed well in inspections also. In fact, we awarded it a B- for this category, which is a respectable grade. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Sadly, this place was hit with a category L deficiency, which is not what we expected given its inspection score. This category means CMS found a widespread deficiency placing patient safety or health in immediate danger. Even a single deficiency in this category is concerning. While other aspects of this nursing home's inspection report were favorable, we have some reservations.

Short-term Care Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care grade. This is not an impressive grade. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 2.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final area, this facility really did not perform well in this area either. With an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 98.88476 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
