Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, while this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second lowest category is long-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated only 88.59649 percent of its patients, which is well below average. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, we gave this facility a grade of D in our short-term care category. This was the nursing home's worst category rating. Our short-term care ratings are probably more critical for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With a score of this caliber in this area, we weren't surprised to find this nursing home was well below average in two of the key staffing figures we looked at. The facility supplied significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
