Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
We gave this facility a solid grade in our long-term care category, where it earned a B+. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 89.55224 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is slightly lower than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This is one of our better scores. Short-term care grades are generally used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Turning our final category of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. This grade was detrimental to this nursing home's overall grade. With facilities that received this poor of an inspection rating, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This nursing home had 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to patient safety or health. Nevertheless, there just weren't too many highlights for this facility in this category.
