Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
The second highest category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In our short-term care grade, we endeavor to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech 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 the typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest category came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a C. Long-term care grades are essential for prospective residents looking for personal care. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 91.41104 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points lower than we expected but still a respectable figure. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
This facility's least impressive category was nursing, which is the final category we scored. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. We weighed the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in computing our score in this category. This nursing home provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. In addition to receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this facility was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients suffering pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
