Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we didn't give this nursing home a favorable overall score, we actually gave it a strong score in the category of short-term care, where it received a B+. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
We were also pleasantly surprised to award this facility a relatively favorable government inspection rating as well. We awarded it a B- in this category, which was much better than its overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. It does not appear that we have deficiency data for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this nursing home. Without having the deficiency data, it is a challenge to evaluate the place in this category.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing score is largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is long-term care, where this facility was given an abysmal score here also. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
