Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
Although we did not have many positive things to say about this place's overall score, it did receive a respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent score in that category with a score of B-. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. We weren't able to track down information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing grades are largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below average. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this metric. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning residents more often.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its third highest category grade in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is a decent grade. Short-term care grades are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our next area, this facility received a B- for long-term care, which is an acceptable grade. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated only 82.88591 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
