Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall score, this facility also earned top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our best grades in that category, with a grade of A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this category. For long-term care residents, the primary goal 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 patients. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 64.07563 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a bit less than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is short-term care, where this facility received a C in this category. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we scored was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in that category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this category. There are numerous subcategories within this category. Most of these data points are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Although this place ranked poorly in terms of the quantity of nursing care offered, it surprisingly performed admirably in a few of our quality measures. It was above average in two of the major subcategories we look at, with positive reviews for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
