Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's overall grade was helped by a strong long-term care grade. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with a B. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this area. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

This facility did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it just a just D in this category. Inspection scores relate to a nursing home's government inspection reports. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, we also need to point out that this nursing home received large government fines recently amounting to over $100,000. This generally means that a facility's bad track record has been an issue for multiple years.
