Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
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. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a solid grade in the area of short-term care, with a grade of C. In computing these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our final category, this facility really did not fare well in this area either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 95.28302 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
