Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable government inspection report this year. It received a decent grade in that category with a B-. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an B-. Our nursing grade includes a handful of datapoints, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category is its long-term care grade, where it was given a B-. Long-term care scores are pivotal for prospective residents in need of personal care. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 92.98245 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is somewhat less than we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area was short-term care, which is the last category we looked at. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. With our short-term care rating, we strive to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Considering its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.
