Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 13 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
The second best area we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This facilities third most favorable category is long-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. In calculating our long-term care ratings, we scrutinize the personal care received by the facility's patients. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 86.26761 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly less than the national average. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home received a grade of C in nursing, which we consider to be an acceptable rating. Nursing scores are primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below average. Finally, nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its patients.
