Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While we weren't high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of B- for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, with a grade of D in the inspection category, this facility performed relatively poorly in that area. Our inspection ratings factor in many items on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. If you see severe deficiencies on the reports, this is typically the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home had 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 30 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the last category, we gave this nursing home a D for our long-term care category. This was the facility's worst category grade. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 99.324326 percent of its residents, which is a very solid percentage. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
