Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While this nursing home's overall grade was not great, it actually received a good grade for short-term care. In fact, we gave it a B for that category, which is a solid score. This one of its few redeeming features. In our short-term care score, we strive to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this facility a strong grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. This is better than most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing score consists of a handful of subcategories, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
The next highest area we gave this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 98.6755 percent of its patients, which is a very solid percentage. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
This facility did not receive a favorable inspection grade. We gave it a grade of just just D in this category. Inspection grades relate to a facility's inspections. We weight poor inspection grades heavily in our assessment. Since government inspection reports are completed by independent government inspectors, we consider this data to be reliable. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. We suggest you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. We were not able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Lastly, we also need to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines in recent years of more than $100,000. This typically signifies that a poor track record spanned several years.
