Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this facility an A for our short-term care rating. This score is much more impressive than its overall score. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it earned an B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Nursing grades are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was long-term care, which is the last area we scored. Sadly, it received an F for this category. Even with a few decent scores in other areas, this score is still alarming so we would like to to make sure you are aware. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
