Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the area of short-term care, with an A in this category. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's second best category is inspections. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Our nursing score assesses a handful of datapoints, however, the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Finally, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously very disappointing. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.48485 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
