Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home did not perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C for that category. Our long-term care scores are meaningful for residents in need of personal care. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an C. In determining our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Lastly, nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality
Our next category we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was given an F. In our short-term care rating, we try to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Considering its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
Facility Inspections
Turning the last category of inspections, this facility had an abysmal showing. It received an F in our inspection category. This is the most heavily weighted category in our overall grading system. When a facility has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular nursing home was hit with a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by inspectors had potential to pose actual harm to patients. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines recently of over $100,000. This typically means that a facility's poor performance spanned multiple years.
