Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an C. Nursing ratings are largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is far below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only received a grade of D for its long-term care grade, which is not a score to write home about. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 92.370575 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated was short-term care, which ended up being a weak link for this facility. We gave this nursing home a D for short-term care. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is considered to be a solid assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. With a grade of this caliber in this area, we were not shocked to find this nursing home was below average in several staffing areas we assess. The nursing home supplied far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
