Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we were down on this facility overall, we gave it a grade of B+ in nursing. This score is more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. There are several criteria within this area. Most of these criteria are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms 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
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its long-term care rating, which is not a very good score. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 93.04348 percent of its patients. This is somewhat below what we expected but still a respectable figure. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Facility Inspections
In the last category of inspections, this ended up being this nursing home's weakest link. Inspection ratings are based on a nursing home's recent government inspection reports. We gave this facility a D in this category, which is not a very good grade. One of the more significant factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We would scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home had 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, we want to point out that this nursing home was assessed large government fines recently amounting to over $100,000. This often signifies that a bad performance has been an issue for several years.
