Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this category, which is not bad. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. It doesn't look like we have information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next most favorable category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is an acceptable grade. Our short-term care scores are arguably most critical for those in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who returned home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. There are a host of factors included in this category. Many of the subcategories are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving a resident even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was long-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this area. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 91.62393 percent of its residents. This is slightly below what we anticipated but still a decent figure. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
