Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than the facility's overall rating. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we had favorable view of this facility's inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received impressive long-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our more impressive scores in this area, with a B. This proved to be the nursing home's second best score. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it a F in this area. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was short-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is an abysmal score. This is clearly a significant disappointment. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
