Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for our nursing rating. This score is more respectable than the facility's overall rating. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This facility averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is well below average. Finally, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its second highest category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this category, which is a decent score. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's third best area came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's personal care rather than the skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated just 90.47619 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Finally, this facility received a C. Inspection grades are based on a nursing home's government inspections. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. 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. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
