Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
To go along with its decent overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A- for our nursing rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. There are many criteria included in this grade. Most of the subcategories relate to nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we awarded this facility a B+ in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our more favorable grades. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of C in this category. Long-term care grades are used to measure a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home administered the vaccine to just 89.67136 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this facility 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.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our last category of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. This score was very detrimental to this nursing home's overall score. When a facility has this bad of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This facility was hit with one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had potential to cause actual harm to residents. Finally, we also need to point out that this place received large government fines totaling more than $100,000. This usually means that a nursing home's bad track record has been an issue for multiple years.
