Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Even though this facility's overall grade was abysmal, it actually didn't perform quite as poorly in long-term care. We awarded it a B- for that category, which isn't bad. This was not enough to spare its otherwise poor profile. Our long-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 55.84416 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is quite a bit less than the national average. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home performed well in inspections as well. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for that category, which is a respectable score. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. The nursing grade weighs several subcategories. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is short-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a very poor grade. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. With a grade this poor in this area, we weren't shocked to find this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The nursing home supplied far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
