Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received a favorable short-term care score this year. We awarded them a strong grade in that area, with a B+. With our short-term care score, we strive to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also performed well in inspections. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with an B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses are caring for residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided 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 facility 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 many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our next category, this facility didn't perform well. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this was this nursing home's poorest grade. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 98.6755 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
