Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that have a long list of severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a positive long-term care score. In fact, we gave them a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing grade features many subcategories. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This place offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, this nursing home really did not fare very well here either. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is frequently a reliable assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. With a grade in this range for this category, we weren't stunned to discover this nursing home was below average in many staffing areas we assess. It provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
