Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving residents at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a strong score in short-term care. This nursing home earned a B+ in this category, which is one of our higher grades. Our short-term care ratings are vital for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only received a D for its long-term care score, which is well below average in this category. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated only 87.09677 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Facility Inspections
This facility did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it just a just D in this category. Inspection ratings relate to a facility's inspections. We weight poor inspection ratings heavily in our assessment. Since government inspections are completed by independent inspectors, we consider this information to be reliable. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. You should be more cautious when considering a nursing home that has severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This particular nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 42 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
