Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had favorable view of this facility's recent inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received its next best category grade in the category of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a C in this category, which is a respectable score. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next best area turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of C. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated just 77.6824 percent of its patients against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
This facility's weakest category was nursing, which is the last category we looked at. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. In determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses commit to patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is well below average. This nursing home also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than twice the national average in this statistic.
