Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
While we didn't give this facility a good overall grade, we awarded it a fairly strong score in the area of long-term care, where it earned a B. This is better than many facilities in this category. This propped up an otherwise poor profile. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.70846 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. The nursing grade features several subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. In fact, it only received a grade of D for its inspection grade. Inspection grades factor in many items found on the nursing home's inspection reports. If you see severe deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is generally the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility was assessed one deficiency by CMS. Fortunately, it wasn't in one of the categories that suggest that it created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received significant government fines recently totaling more than $100,000. This typically suggests that a facility's bad track record spanned more than one year.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is short-term care, proved to be this nursing home's worst category. We gave this facility a D in this category. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This area is considered to be a useful assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.9 percent of its residents returning home.
