Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
This facility's nursing score was better than its overall grade. With a strong performance in this category, it earned a quality score in nursing with a B. Nursing scores are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. 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 place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
Shockingly, this facility actually earned a good score in inspections as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. This is certainly an excellent sign for this nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality
The next best area we awarded this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our short-term care grade is often used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was long-term care, which ended up being a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for the area of long-term care. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 80.1636 percent of its residents. This is multiple points less than what we expected. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
