Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it earned an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. If it wasn't for this grade, this nursing home's overall score would have been much lower. Short-term care ratings are important for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection grade also was better than its overall score. Due to a quality inspection report this year, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a B. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

The nursing score weighs many components, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we rated is long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in this category. Sadly, this score hurt the nursing home's overall grade a bit. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to resident care. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 66.91542 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
