Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Even though we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B for our short-term care grade. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections
This facility received mediocre inspections in recent years. We gave them a grade of C in this area. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. 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 category we analyzed is long-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in this area. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 93.25153 percent of its residents, which is a few points less than we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
