Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 78.81356 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is slightly below what we expected but still a decent percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's third best category was short-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed relatively poorly. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. It appears that this facility was subpar in several staffing metrics we assessed. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we rated is nursing, which turned out to be this facility's weakest area. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously very disappointing. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. On top of its below average nursing hour totals, this nursing home received suboptimal scores in several of the quality-based measures we considered in computing our nursing grades. We found that more of this nursing home's patients sustained falls leading to major injury. We would argue that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this nursing home receiving a poor nursing grade.
