Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Even though we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to note its relatively favorable long-term care score this year. We gave it a B+ in this area, which was much better than its overall score. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 93.37474 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a bit lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
We gave this nursing home a C for the category of inspections. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent danger to resident health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. The nursing score weighs a variety of datapoints. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area is short-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. For this category, we gave this facility a D. Short-term care grades are often used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
