Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility a grade of B in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher scores. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 93.05284 percent of its residents. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with residents, in computing our grade in this category. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving patients at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest category was short-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of D. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It appears that this nursing home was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the staffing figures we looked at. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
