Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of A- for our long-term care score. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.4012 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this facility also earned a grade of B for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. In our short-term care assessment, we seek to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. It doesn't appear that this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed is nursing, which was this facility's weakest category. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously somewhat concerning. Our nursing score is based on many data points. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Although this nursing home's nursing hours are below average, it actually surprised us in a few of the qualitative data points in this category. In particular, we were pleased to see that its patients appear to be suffering fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
