Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. 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
This nursing home's second most favorable category is its short-term care score, where it received a C. In computing these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its next most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 67.741936 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The final category we analyzed is nursing. We awarded this facility a C in that category. The nursing grade is based on a host of data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.
