Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B- for this area, which is a decent score. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. In computing a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses spend with patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given its third most favorable category score in the area of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 65.66223 percent of its patients, which is somewhat concerning. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is short-term care, which was this facility's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Based on its poor grade in this area, we were not shocked to discover this place offers substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
