Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we were not complementary of this nursing home's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B+. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that had a long list of severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Nursing grades are primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility received its next most favorable category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a C in this area, which is a decent grade. With our short-term care score, we strive to create a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility'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 focus on. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last category, this nursing home really did not fare well in this category either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is about as terrible as it gets. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated just 85.22727 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
