Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we didn't rate this nursing home well overall, we want to acknowledge it received a decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. We looked at the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses were with residents, in determining our rating in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a respectable grade in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 3.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area is long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this category. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 96.34146 percent of its residents. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Turning to the final area of health inspections, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for our inspection category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This place had 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This tells you that inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent danger to resident health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
