Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
The main reason this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of A. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a solid score in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of C. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this nursing home provided the vaccine to a relatively low 83.45324 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this facility was given just a D in this area. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. With a score in this range for this area, we were not stunned to discover this nursing home was below average in two of the key staffing figures we focus on. It supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Facility Inspections
Looking to our final category of inspections, we gave this nursing home a just D, which is a relatively poor grade. Our inspection rating is based on the facility's government inspections. Since this data is compiled by independent government inspectors, we place significant weight on it in our overall grades. One of the most significant factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 9 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, we also want to point out that this facility received significant government fines exceeding $50,000. This generally indicates that government inspectors became fed up after several years of failed government inspections.
