Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's overall grade was propped up by a strong long-term care rating. We gave them one of our higher scores in that area, with a B+. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.57143 percent of its residents, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
This facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an B+. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. We weighed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses spent with patients, in determining our score in this area. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, while this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this facility was given a C in short-term care, which is generally a respectable score. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
