Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Despite this deficiency, this place still had a relatively positive inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category is long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this area. Our long-term care scores are more critical for patients requiring more conventional assistance related to personal care. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 83.78378 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be several points less than the national average. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable score is short-term care, where it received just a D in that category. This is a relatively poor grade. In calculating these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Considering its poor rating in this category, we were not stunned to learn this facility offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at was nursing. We gave it an F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. In addition to being below average in nursing hours per resident, this facility also had poor scores in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at about 1.5 times the national average in both of these data points. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores helped pull down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
