Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Even though we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of B+ for our short-term care rating. This grade is more impressive than its overall score. Without this category, its profile would have been in serious trouble. In computing our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is typically a fair assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
We were also pleasantly surprised to award this facility a relatively favorable government inspection grade as well. We gave it a respectable grade of B- in this category, which was much better than its overall score. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a very poor grade in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is definitely very concerning. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 78.08765 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly below what we expected. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
