Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
While this place's overall grade was abysmal, it actually didn't perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a C for that category, which isn't bad. This wasn't enough to spare its otherwise weak profile. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home excelled in the category of nursing, where it earned an C. Few facilities fared better in this area. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to the facility's 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. Lastly, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory.

Facility Inspections
This facility didn't perform terribly in inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that area. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that it avoided the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's worst area is short-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. With a grade this poor in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in the two key staffing figures we looked at. The facility offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.9 percent of its patients returning home.
