Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this place's overall performance, it did receive an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B+. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid facilities that have a long list of deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's higher category grades came in the category of short-term care. This ended up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we awarded this facility a C. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's third best score was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed relatively poorly. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 97.85203 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The next category we analyzed was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. In calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
