Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a short-term care score which is stronger than its overall grade. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. This helped its overall profile quite a bit. In determining these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the category of nursing, where it earned an B. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections
Turning to the area of inspections, we gave this facility just a D for our inspection category. This was one of this nursing home's weaker links. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. You should be more cautious when considering a nursing home that has severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This facility was hit with one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by inspectors had the potential to create actual harm to residents. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This often indicates that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was long-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest area. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is clearly a major disappointment. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 80.33241 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
