Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best area was long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 86.62207 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly lower than what we expected. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Nursing scores are largely based on the facility's nurse staffing. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was short-term care, in which this facility was given a rock bottom grade here also. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. Short-term care grades are crucial for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its abysmal score in this area, we weren't surprised to find this place provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
