Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a bad overall score, we actually gave it a fairly respectable grade in the category of inspections, where it received a B-. This was better than its other categories. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Nursing grades are mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a relatively low total compared to most facilities. Lastly, while this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. Our short-term care grade is often used to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The critical question is whether this also affected quality of care. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed is long-term care, which turned out to be a low point for this facility. We awarded this facility a D for our long-term care category. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to only 77.09497 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
