Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care grade appears to be its best feature. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. With our short-term care category, we strive to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are primarily based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our final category, this facility received a grade of C in long-term care, which is generally a decent score. Long-term care grades are generally used to grade a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 46.84066 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is quite a few points lower than the national average. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
