Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While we didn't give this nursing home a favorable overall grade, we actually gave it a very strong grade in our short-term care rating, where it received a B. In determining these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
We awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our inspections rating. This score is more respectable than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This place had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This means this facility dodged the more significant classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. There are many factors within this grade. Most of these criteria are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's weakest category score. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
