Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a slightly more favorable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B- for this area, which is a decent score. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more favorable category scores came in the category of short-term care. This proved to be its second best category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Lastly, nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next area is long-term care, where we gave this facility a C in this area. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.604744 percent of its residents. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
