Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with an A. This is a much better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best category turned out to be short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a C. Our short-term care scores are critical for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. In calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. While this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was long-term care. It received a lowly F in this category, which is a rock bottom grade. This is certainly a significant concern. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.52941 percent of its residents, which is more than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
