Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a respectable score in the area of short-term care, with a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. There are a variety of factors within this grade. Many of these criteria reflect levels of nurse staffing. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is long-term care, where this nursing home received an abysmal score in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. Nursing homes that don't score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 69.162994 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points less than average. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
