Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this facility fared well in short-term care. We awarded it an A for that category. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most critical for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also performed well in inspections, which is based on its recent inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for that area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

This nursing home received high marks in the category of nursing. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an impressive grade of A-. Our nursing score is largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of turning a resident more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded is long-term care, where this facility received a C. This ended up being this nursing home's least impressive area. This is nevertheless not a bad grade. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.521736 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable total. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
