Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
We would like to point out that this facility's inspection grade exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. When computing a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses are seeing patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, 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' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received an impressive short-term care score. As a matter of fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ in this area, which happens to be one of our better. Short-term care grades are generally employed to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to provide highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth category, this nursing home really did not fare very well. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this was this nursing home's poorest area. Facilities that do not score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. We were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 61.224487 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
