Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area, with a grade of A. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area turned out to be short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B-. Our short-term care grades are presumably most meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

This facilities third best area is long-term care. We gave it a C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this category. Our long-term care scores are meaningful for people requiring personal care. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 89.56916 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be significantly below what we expected. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The last area we scored was nursing, which was this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in that area. The nursing rating analyzes several subcategories, but the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is well below average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
