Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of A. This is a much better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable area turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. In our short-term care category, we attempt to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home received a B- in this category. In crafting these long-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.31933 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable percentage. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The last category we analyzed was nursing. This facility was given a grade of C in the area. In determining our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this nursing home didn't rank highly in terms of nursing hours, it performed much better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, this nursing home fared better than average.
