Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This facility really performed well in the category of long-term care, where it earned an A. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 93.98496 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning a resident even once per day.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection grade appears to be one of its best features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. To our surprise, this facility was assessed a category J through K deficiency, which are some of the worst deficiencies. This often means that CMS uncovered a deficiency which places resident health or safety in imminent danger. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is short-term care, which is this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. As you might expect, we learned that this facility offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
