Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we didn't have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade or its category scores. Its best category was nursing. However, with just a D in this category, it still performed badly. Our nursing grade is based on quite a few datapoints, but the main one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is slightly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note this nursing home's abysmal long-term care grade where it was given a lowly F. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility provided the vaccine to only 90.34749 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections
Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. When a place has this bad of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular facility was assessed a category J through K deficiency, which are among the worst deficiencies. Finally, we would like to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This typically indicates that a poor performance has been an issue for several years.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was short-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area, which is a poor grade. With our short-term care score, we strive to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Given its abysmal grade in this area, we were not shocked to discover this nursing home offered significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.9 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
