Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
Even though we were not high on this facility overall, we gave it a B- for our long-term care rating. This score is more respectable than the nursing home's overall score. Long-term care ratings are pivotal for individuals looking for personal care. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinates 99.24812 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second highest category was its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of C. Our short-term care grades are arguably most important for individuals needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Facility Inspections
This facility earned slightly below average government inspections in recent years. We awarded them a C in this category. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means this facility dodged the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was nursing, which is the last category we looked at. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D.

This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This facility was above average in two of the major statistics we focus on, with good scores for avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
