Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this facility one of our higher scores in short-term care, where it earned an A-. This is notably better than its overall score, which was certainly not elite. With our short-term care category, we try to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses worked with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is long-term care. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is an abysmal score. This is clearly a major concern. Facilities that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 88.28829 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly less than what we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
