Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received a much better grade for nursing than it received overall. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A-. In calculating our nursing grades, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning patients more often.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more respectable category grades came in the category of long-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In our long-term care grade, we assess the sheer quantity of services provided by a facility, along with a handful of qualitative datapoints. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this facility vaccinated just 76.76471 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections
Turning to the area of health inspections, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for our inspection category. Our inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility had 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is short-term care. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care grades are arguably most critical for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational 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 patient than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
