Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this facility earned a decent overall score, its inspections score is notably better than its overall score. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it earned one of our better scores in that area with a B. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a positive score in short-term care. This facility received a B in this area, which turns out to be one of our more favorable grades. Our short-term care grades are arguably most meaningful for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. The nursing rating assesses quite a few subcategories, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest category. It received an F for this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 81.081085 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit less than average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
