Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we didn't give this facility a good overall grade, we did give it a very strong grade in the area of nursing, where it earned a grade of B. This is better than most nursing homes in this area. Our nursing grade assesses many components, however, the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 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 prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
We awarded this facility a grade of C for the category of inspections. We would argue that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means this facility dodged the more ominous classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility only earned a D for its long-term care score, which is not an impressive grade. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated a relatively low 89.33718 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is short-term care, which turned out to be a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a grade of just D for short-term care. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is frequently a reliable measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
