Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
Facility Inspections
We actually gave this nursing home a very solid grade in the area of inspections as well. We gave it a B- in this category. This is better than many nursing homes in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable area we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more important for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area is long-term care, which is the final category we assessed. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
