Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. Overall, this was a generally favorable inspection report.
Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which is well below average in this category. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Based on its abysmal grade in this area, we weren't shocked to learn that this place provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at is long-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 99.557526 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
