Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
While this facility's overall grade wasn't a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in the area of nursing. We gave it a B- for that category. Our nursing rating features a number of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, while this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric.
Facility Inspections
We actually gave this nursing home a very solid score in the area of inspections as well. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is better than many facilities in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a solid grade in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of C. In our long-term care rating, we analyze the sheer quantity of services provided by a nursing home, as well as a few qualitative metrics. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 87.17105 percent of its patients. This is significantly below average. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was short-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Based on its abysmal score in this category, we were not shocked to learn that this place offers substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
