Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received a favorable short-term care rating this year. We gave them a strong grade in that category, with a B+. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more important for residents needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it earned an B+. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category was long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a C. Long-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's amount of nursing care. This includes a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The last category we graded was nursing, which proved to be a weak spot for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of nursing. Our nursing category is based on a handful of subcategories, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is not a very impressive figure. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic dragged down this nursing home's nursing score substantially.
