Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this facility an A for its inspection grade. This is far better than the facility's overall rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of C in this category. In the area of long-term care, we analyze the quantity of care offered by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated just 81.72589 percent of its residents, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest area is short-term care, which is the final area we assessed. In this category, we gave this facility a D. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more meaningful for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
