Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also surprised to learn that this facility earned a solid short-term care grade in our assessment. We awarded it a C in this category. In forming these 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 skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our long-term care grade. This is not a very good score. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 94.545456 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its patients 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 were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The last area we scored was nursing. This facility received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that category. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its below average total nursing hours per patient, this facility had really bad scores in many of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. For starters, we looked at the percentage of residents having falls leading to major injury. This nursing home was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
