Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall score, it earned a respectable government inspection report this year. It received a decent grade in that category with a B-. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. The nursing category consists of several subcategories, most of which are based on nursing hours. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a C. Short-term care scores are critical for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our fourth area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in long-term care. This is the nursing home's least impressive category grade. Facilities 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 medical care we looked at. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 56.296295 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
