Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable area was short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B-. Short-term care grades are typically used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. There are quite a few subcategories within this category. Many of the datapoints are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this subcategory. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving a patient more often.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area was long-term care, which is the last area we scored. For this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.27273 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
