Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled at short-term care, with an A- in this category. This really propped up its overall score. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Our nursing score is mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the final area we scored. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category. Despite a few acceptable grades in other categories, this score is still alarming so we would like to to point it out. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated only 87.81362 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
