Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of B in nursing. This score is quite a bit more impressive than the facility's overall score. When calculating our nursing grades, we assess both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a patient more often.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our better scores. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections
We wanted to point out this nursing home's inspection grade where it received an F. This often means we found red flags on its inspections. For places with poor inspection scores, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, we also want to point out that this nursing home received large government fines in recent years of more than $100,000. This often indicates that a bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded is long-term care, where this facility was given an abysmal score in this area as well. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.789474 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
