Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a decent nursing home is it received a very favorable inspection grade. In that category, we gave this facility a B+. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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 still had positive view of this nursing home's recent inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a positive score in our short-term care category. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B+ in that category. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. There are a variety of factors within this area. Most of these factors relate to nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is far below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a poor grade. This is obviously a major concern. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 86.57407 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly lower than the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
