Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive long-term care score. As a matter of fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 61.543137 percent of its patients. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. The nursing rating includes quite a few components, however, the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's weakest area. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category, which is certainly very concerning. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we learned that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
