Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we didn't rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. There are a variety of factors within this category. Most of the factors reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Finally, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this subcategory.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its next best category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is an acceptable score. Our short-term care scores are probably most meaningful for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a solid grade in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In the area of long-term care, we assess the quantity of services offered by a facility, rather than more sophisticated services. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Lastly, this facility received a grade of C. Inspection grades relate to a facility's government inspections. Inspection ratings are based on data points found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. 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.
