Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave it an A+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
The second best category we gave this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.84685 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's next best category was short-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared relatively poorly. With our short-term care category, we try to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With a score of this caliber for this category, we weren't surprised to learn this place was below average in the two key staffing figures we assess. It offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this area 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 patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the next area, this facility did not perform well. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this was its weakest area. There are a variety of data points within this grade. Most of the factors reflect staffing levels. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. In addition to its subpar nursing hour totals, this nursing home also earned suboptimal marks in many of the quality-based metrics we considered in calculating our nursing scores. We found that a higher percentage of this place's residents sustained falls which led to major injury.
