Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher grades in that area, with an A-. This is a much better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had a generally favorable view of this nursing home's inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this facility a grade of B+ in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our higher grades. With our short-term care assessment, we attempt to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this facility an D. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest area. It received an F in this area, which is obviously very disappointing. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable total. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
