Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+ in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our better grades. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is frequently a solid measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing category is based on a handful of components, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next area, this facility really didn't fare very well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this was this facility's weakest area. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable percentage. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
