Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area is short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest category ended up being its long-term care score, where it was awarded a C. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 96.60494 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our next area, this nursing home didn't fare very well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this was its poorest category grade. We assessed the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses were with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. This facility offered only 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. In addition to its weak nursing hours, this place earned poor scores in some of the quality-based measures we considered in computing our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this nursing home's residents suffered falls which led to serious injury.
