Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A+. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. It doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this facility. Without having access to complete deficiency related data, it was difficult to fully grade this nursing home in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.38271 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to avoid negative health outcomes for the senior population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a solid grade of C. In our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our final category, this facility was given a grade of C for nursing, which is generally an acceptable score. Our nursing rating is based on several data points. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. On top of ranking poorly in terms of nursing hours offered, this place also lagged behind in certain subcategories that are associated with quality of care. This place's nursing grade was pulled down by poor performance in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers. We found that 16.475098 percent of this place's patients suffered from pressure ulcers. This is at least double the national average. Since many pressure ulcers could be avoided with proper nursing protocols, we reduce a nursing home's nursing score when we see this kind of prevalence of pressure ulcers.
