Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a strong grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this area, which is one of our better scores. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 73.18436 percent of its patients. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

This facility's worst category is nursing, which is the last area we analyzed. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area. Even with several respectable scores in other categories, this grade is still disappointing so we felt obligated to point it out. Nursing ratings are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. In addition to receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this facility was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients suffering pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
