Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses worked with residents, in computing our rating in this area. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this area. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a resident more often.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its next best category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent score. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a C in this area. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
The final category we looked at was inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspections in recent years. As a result, we had to give it an F here. When a facility has this bad of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
