Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we gave this place a weak overall rating, we actually gave it a fairly respectable score in the area of inspections, where it received a B-. This was better than its other category grades. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. 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. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. In our short-term care rating, we try to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next category is long-term care, in which we gave this facility a B- in this category. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
