Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this nursing home's stronger areas was in the category of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. Nursing ratings are largely associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
The third highest category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Short-term care scores are crucial for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 3.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at is long-term care, which was this facility's least impressive area. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category may not provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 66.88312 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
