Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a somewhat respectable score in the area of nursing. We gave it a grade of B- for that category. Our nursing score is primarily based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The second highest category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care scores are critical for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home received slightly below average government inspections in recent years. We awarded them a C in this area. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This tells you that it dodged the more serious classes of deficiencies. Finally, 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.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the final area, we gave this nursing home a D for the area of long-term care. This was the facility's least impressive category rating. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
