Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B for our short-term care score. Our short-term care scores are likely more critical for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
We awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our inspections category. This is more respectable than its overall grade. Inspection grades are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's third best score is long-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat badly. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
This facility's least impressive category was nursing, which is the last category we analyzed. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of just D. The nursing rating assesses several factors, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
