Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we had a generally favorable view of this nursing home's inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
The next highest category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest area is long-term care, which is the final area we looked at. We gave it a lowly F for this area. In spite of several respectable grades in other categories, this score is still concerning so we would like to to make sure you are aware. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated just 85.85366 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
