Nurse Quality
We gave this facility one of our better scores in nursing, with an A-. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. There are many subcategories included in this area. Most of the subcategories relate to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a solid grade in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Long-term care grades are generally used to gauge a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated only 83.171524 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is considered to be a solid assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
Facility Inspections
In the final category of inspections, this nursing home did not fare well. Sadly, it received an F in this category. This ended up really pulling this nursing home's overall score down as we heavily weight this category. For facilities that received this bad of an inspection grade, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 9 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
