Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. Our nursing grade consists of many subcategories, many of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only earned a D for its short-term care grade, which ended up being one of its higher category grades. Our short-term care scores are probably most important for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this place is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we assessed is long-term care. This facility's received a low-end long-term care score where it received an F. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
Turning our last category of inspections, this facility received a terrible score. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We suggest you scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This facility had 10 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
