Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B- for inspections. This score is more respectable than this facility's overall score. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. On top of having severe deficiencies, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
The next best category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. With our short-term care rating, we strive to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last category, this nursing home was given a respectable long-term care grade of B-. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.20425 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
