Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection score exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its second highest category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. Short-term care grades are typically employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its third highest category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a respectable grade. In the area of long-term care, we look at the amount of services provided by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at was nursing. We gave this nursing home a C in this category. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses were with residents, in computing our score in this area. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is far below the national average. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.
