Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Sadly, this facility was assessed multiple category L deficiencies, which is highly unusual for a facility with an inspection rating of this caliber. This category indicates multiple widespread deficiencies placing patient safety or health in imminent danger. Deficiencies in this category are alarming even if the nursing home earned an otherwise favorable inspection report. We would probably want to get more information about this level of deficiency.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a middle of the pack grade in the category of short-term care, with a C. Short-term care scores are meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality
The next area we assessed is nursing, proved to be this facility's worst category. We gave this facility a D in this category. The nursing score includes a variety of subcategories.
