Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Even though this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it surprisingly earned a good score in our short-term care rating. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. This was a rare highlight in an otherwise lacking profile. In calculating these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also earned a very impressive nursing score. This turned out to be its second best grade. In this category, we awarded this facility an B. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
Another unfortunate development was the F this facility received in the area of long-term care. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes offer. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 90.55375 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
Facility Inspections
The final category we looked at is inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspection reports in recent years. In fact, we gave it an F here. When a facility has this poor of an inspection grade, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This facility was hit with a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by CMS had potential to create actual harm to patients. Finally, this facility also received 12 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
