Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled in our short-term care rating. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest grades. This boosted its overall profile. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a strong inspection grade. Inspection grades are based on the facility's recent health inspections. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Our nursing grade assesses a handful of factors, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is long-term care, which is this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that area. Sadly, this score hurt the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.565216 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
