Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's overall grade was propped up by a strong long-term care score. We gave them one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of B+. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.3007 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also performed well in the area of inspections. It received one of our best grades in that category with an B+. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing score consists of many datapoints, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last area, we gave this facility a grade of D in our short-term care category. This was the facility's weakest category score. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Given its poor grade in this category, we weren't shocked to find that this nursing home offers significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
