Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We want to note that this nursing home received favorable marks in the category of short-term care this year. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of B+. This proved to be the nursing home's top grade and helped its profile overall. In our short-term care grade, we endeavor to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility earned an B+ in the category of nursing. Nursing scores are mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a solid score in the area of long-term care, with a C. For patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the vaccine to a relatively low 83.923706 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Turning the last category of government inspections, we gave this facility a C for our this category. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category J through L deficiencies. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to put patient safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
