Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this place an A+ for the area of inspections. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a grade of A for our long-term care grade. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category turned out to be short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a C. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. It doesn't appear that this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we rated was nursing. We gave this nursing home a D for nursing, leaving this as its weakest category grade. When calculating our nursing scores, we look at both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. While this nursing home's nursing hours were below average, it surprised us in a few of the qualitative statistics in this category. In particular, we were pleased to see that its residents appear to be experiencing fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
