Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second highest category was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned slightly below average government inspections in recent years. We awarded them a C in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we need to point out that this nursing home has been assessed some government fines in recent years. We were relieved to find that these were not on the high end as government fines go. Nevertheless, this isn't what you hoped to see.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was long-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is a poor score. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 98.79518 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
