Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor dings are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we also would like to note that this nursing home was awarded positive short-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our better scores in this category, with a grade of B. This turned out to be the nursing home's second highest grade. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. It does not appear that this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 6.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area ended up being long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B-. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 91.51786 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a few points below what we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed was nursing, was this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. This really was one of just a few weak links in an otherwise strong report card. Nursing grades are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
