Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a score of A. Not many nursing homes performed more favorably in this category. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 91.061455 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be slightly less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the amount of time nurses are with patients and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, while this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was short-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst category. We gave this facility a D in that area. Of course, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. In this facility's case, we found that it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
