Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. In computing our nursing scores, we look at both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Finally, although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second highest category came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are likely most important for residents requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This facilities next best category is long-term care. We gave it a C in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for people requiring more conventional assistance associated with personal care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.723755 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Lastly, this nursing home received a C. Inspection grades relate to a facility's inspections. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This place was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
