Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this facility earned a decent overall rating, its inspections rating is notably more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it earned a strong score in that category with a grade of B+. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, while this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a middle of the pack score in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services To have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, we awarded this facility a D for our long-term care category. This was the nursing home's weakest category score. Nursing homes that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated only 73.18612 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
