Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that category, with an A-. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Nursing grades are mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing ratings also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a middle of the pack score in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. In the category of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of care provided by a nursing home, as opposed to more sophisticated services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 95.75972 percent of its residents. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the final category, we awarded this facility a grade of D in our short-term care category. This was the nursing home's weakest category grade. In calculating these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. With a grade in this range for this area, we were not surprised to discover this nursing home was below average in multiple staffing figures we assess. It supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
