Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but it really excelled in nursing care, with an impressive grade of A in this category. The nursing score features many subcategories. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, we awarded this facility a grade of A- in that category. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only earned a grade of D for its long-term care grade, which is not an impressive grade. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 94.029854 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
The final category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspection reports in recent years. In fact, we gave it an F in this category. This pulled down this facility's overall score significantly. For facilities that received this bad of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility had a deficiency by CMS. Fortunately, it was not in one of the categories that suggest that it posed a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we also need to point out that this place received large government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This typically indicates that a bad performance has been an issue for several years.
