Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we were down on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B+ for our nursing rating. Nursing ratings are largely associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a resident at least once a day.
Facility Inspections
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This score is a more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Inspection ratings are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best category is long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat badly. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 76.97369 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area is short-term care, which is the final area we assessed. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of D. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more meaningful for individuals requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we looked at. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.1 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
