Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this proved to be a decent nursing home is it earned a very favorable nursing score. In fact, its nursing score is its best category. In that area, we gave this facility a B+. There are a number of datapoints included in this area. Most of the criteria relate to nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning patients more often.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a favorable score in short-term care. This nursing home received a B+ in this area, which turns out to be one of our higher grades. In computing these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at was long-term care, where this facility was given a B- in this area. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 78.4897 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Moving on to our inspection category, it appears this nursing home has received quality government inspections in recent years as well. We gave it a B- in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
