Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it an A- for our nursing rating. This grade is far better than the facility's overall grade. There are quite a few criteria included in this category. Most of the factors reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second best category turned out to be short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a C. With our short-term care assessment, we strive to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
This facility earned mediocre inspections in recent years. We awarded them a C in this area. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is long-term care. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in that category. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. We were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 87.80488 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
