Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
It should be noted that this nursing home's inspection grade outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a respectable score in the category of short-term care, with a C. Our short-term care scores are probably most critical for residents in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was long-term care, which proved to be a low point for this facility. We awarded this facility a D for long-term care. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to just 50.54945 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
