Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it earned a respectable inspection report this year. It received a decent score in that category with a B-. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Another area of concern is that CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an B-. We assessed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses were with patients, in computing our grade in this area. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality
The next highest category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are often used to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, this nursing home didn't fare well in this area either. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated just 81.278534 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
