Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we didn't give this facility a good overall score, we actually gave it a very strong grade in nursing, where it received a B. Our nursing rating is based on a handful of components, however, the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more respectable category grades came in the area of long-term care. This turned out to be its second best category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are important for residents in need of personal care. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections
Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 8 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst category was short-term care, which is the last area we scored. In this area, we gave this nursing home a D. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is generally a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. With a grade of this caliber in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this place was well below average in two of the key staffing metrics we looked at. In fact, it offered significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.
