Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best grades in this area with an A. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its second highest category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In determining these short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at is long-term care, where this facility was given a C in this category. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 96.62447 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the next area, we gave this facility a grade of D for the area of nursing. This was the facility's weakest category grade. Our nursing score analyzes several data points, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
