Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a poor overall score, we also gave this nursing home poor grades across the board in each of the categories. It only received a grade of just D for its inspections rating, which was its top area. One of the most significant factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by inspectors had potential to create actual harm to patients. Another red flag is that CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing score consists of a handful of subcategories, many of which are based on nursing hours. This particular place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This number is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.8 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is long-term care, where this facility received a very poor score in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is obviously a major concern. Facilities that don't score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 69.80132 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
