Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This facility earned a good score for short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B+ for that category, which is a solid score. Short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final item we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
We actually gave this nursing home a very solid grade in the area of inspections as well. We awarded it a B- in this category. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Many of these subcategories reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care, which was this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.76617 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable total. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
