Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home an A- for our short-term care grade. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. In computing these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ in that category, which is one of our better scores. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 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 facility 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 typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections
We wanted to note that this facility received an F for its inspection score. An F in this category is very concerning because it generally points to red flags on the nursing home's inspections. For nursing homes with poor inspection scores, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular nursing home was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies found by inspectors had potential to pose actual harm to residents. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines in recent years of more than $100,000. This typically suggests that a nursing home's poor track record spanned multiple years.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is certainly 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. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to only 90.85873 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
