Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a favorable short-term care rating this year. We gave them a strong grade in that category, with a B+. This is a better grade than the nursing home's overall grade and was a boost to its overall profile. Our short-term care grade is generally used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded an impressive long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a B in that category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.7006 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nursing scores are largely based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection rating. We gave it a grade of just just D in this category. Inspection grades relate to a nursing home's government inspections. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility also received 7 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
