Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home received favorable marks in the area of long-term care this year. We gave them a solid grade in that area, with a B. This proved to be the nursing home's best grade and boosted its profile quite a bit. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.76852 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection grade also was quite a bit better than its overall grade. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it earned one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Inspection ratings are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
Our last area is short-term care, where we gave this facility a B- in that area. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
