Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility's best category grade came in the area of health inspections. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most important for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not appear that this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. We assessed the levels of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared to most other nursing homes. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, this nursing home received a B- in long-term care, which is generally an acceptable rating. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 83.460075 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
