Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a decent nursing home is it earned a favorable inspection grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more important for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was awarded a grade of just D in this category. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 81.98758 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the last area, we gave this facility a D in the area of nursing. This was the facility's least impressive category rating. Our nursing grade is based on a number of data points. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This place averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. In addition to receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric. This is a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic pulled down this facility's nursing rating substantially.
