Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
We awarded this nursing home one of our better scores in nursing, with a grade of A. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. When computing a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses commit to patients as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a strong grade in our short-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B in this category. In our short-term care score, we attempt to create a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category ended up being long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care rather than the skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 96.20253 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
The final category we looked at is inspections. This wasn't one of this nursing home's stronger areas. We gave it a grade of just D in this area. Since this data is collected by government inspectors, we tend to take it very seriously. Our inspection scores weigh many items found on the facility's inspection reports. If you find too many deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is generally the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular facility had 7 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this place received large government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This generally suggests that a poor track record has been an issue for more than one year.
