Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we actually gave it a relatively strong grade in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The second highest category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving residents at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is an abysmal score. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated only 55.555553 percent of its residents, which is several points lower than we expected. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
