Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. The nursing category is based on several subcategories, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This place averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The second highest area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In calculating these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
This facility earned slightly below average government inspections in recent years. We awarded them a C in this category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is long-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.6711 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
