Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This place's long-term care rating is notably more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a quality performance in this area, it received one of our better scores in that category with a B+. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Short-term care grades are often employed to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Facility Inspections
Moving on the final category of government inspections, we gave this nursing home just a D for our inspection category. This proved to be this nursing home's worst grade. We take a poor score in this category very seriously. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home had 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines amounting to more than $100,000. This often signifies that a bad track record spanned more than one year.
