Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home an A in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing care, with an impressive grade of A- in this category. The nursing grade considers a variety of subcategories. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 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' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Turning to inspections, we gave this facility a grade of just D. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This facility had one deficiency by government inspectors. We were relieved to find that it wasn't in a category that suggests that it posed a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 24 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive area is long-term care, which is the last area we scored. For this area, we awarded this facility a grade of D. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 93.069305 percent of its patients. This is slightly lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
