Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home one of our higher scores in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of A+. This is notably better than the nursing home's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our short-term care grades are crucial for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of A+. Nursing scores are mostly tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning patients even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 88.0597 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly lower than average. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
The final category we assessed is inspections. This facility did not receive favorable government inspection reports in recent years. We gave it an F in this category. This dragged down this facility's overall score quite a bit. With facilities that received this bad of an inspection score, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was assessed one deficiency on its inspection report. Fortunately, it was not in one of the categories that suggest that it posed a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, we also want to point out that this place was assessed large government fines recently of over $100,000. This generally signifies that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for several years.
