Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we didn't rate this nursing home well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in nursing. Nursing grades are primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. While this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning a patient more often.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest category turned out to be its short-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of B-. Short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a decent grade of B-. Our long-term care scores are more important for patients needing more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable percentage. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Turning to the final area of health inspections, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for our inspection category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
