Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though we graded this nursing home very poorly overall, it received a somewhat respectable nursing score this year. We gave it a B- in this area. Our nursing score weighs a host of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. While this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this statistic. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning a patient more often.
Short-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we awarded this nursing home a B- for its short-term care score, which really isn't a bad grade. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home really didn't perform horribly in inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that area. Our inspection ratings are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This facility had 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is long-term care, where this facility was given a poor grade in this category also. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
