Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home an A for our short-term care grade. This score is much more impressive than its overall grade. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in inspections. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that area with a score of B+. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. There are a host of datapoints within this grade. Many of these datapoints reflect levels of nurse staffing. 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 measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is long-term care. It received an F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. This is certainly a significant disappointment. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 93.51351 percent of its residents, which is somewhat lower than we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
