Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it did receive a very good grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second highest area turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for folks in need of more traditional services associated with activities of daily living. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 95.20767 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Nursing scores are largely based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Based on its abysmal grade in this category, we were not shocked to find that this facility offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
