Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of C in the category of short-term care. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of C. Nursing grades are primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
The next highest area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a C. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Moving on the final category of inspections, this ended up being this facility's weakest link. Inspection scores are based on a facility's recent government inspection reports. We gave this nursing home a grade of just D in this category, which is not a very good grade. One of the more important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 45 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
