Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home an A- for our short-term care score. This is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Our short-term care grades are crucial for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
We also want to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of B+ in this area. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category, which is a poor score. This is clearly a major disappointment. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 99.45206 percent of its residents, which is an above average figure. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
