Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this facility an A+ for its inspection grade. This score is far better than its overall score. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a favorable score in long-term care. This facility received a grade of B in this category, which is one of our more impressive grades. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 92.597244 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. In calculating our nursing grades, we factor in both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a resident at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is short-term care, turned out to be this facility's least impressive area. We gave this facility a D in this area. This really was one of the couple of weak points on a strong profile. Our short-term care scores are probably more important for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.7 percent of its residents returning home.
