Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home excelled in the area of short-term care, with an A- in this category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. It does not appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 7.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another area where this facility excelled. We awarded this facility an B+ for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than its overall grade. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a decent grade in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our long-term care scores are pivotal for patients looking for non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the final area, this facility was awarded a grade of C in nursing, which we consider to be an acceptable score. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
