Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had too many severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility an impressive grade in long-term care. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our more favorable grades. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.77159 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Our third area we graded is short-term care, where this facility received an F. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Based on its weak score in this area, we were not shocked to find this facility provides substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents 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.
Nurse Quality
The next area we graded was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is a poor grade. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the amount of time nurses commit to residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these metrics hurt this facility's nursing rating significantly.
