Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Even though we gave this nursing home a poor overall score, we actually gave it a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. This was certainly better than its other category grades. When computing our nursing scores, we factor in both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving a patient at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given its second most favorable category grade in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Our inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This means that this facility dodged the more serious classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care, which proved to be a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a D in the area of long-term care. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 84.88889 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
