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.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest category turned out to be its long-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of B-. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable figure. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections
This facility received mediocre inspections in recent years. We gave them a C in this category. Inspection grades are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility had 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means that this facility dodged the more ominous categories of deficiencies. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was short-term care. This facility was awarded a C for this category. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
