Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it an impressive grade of A in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. This nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. We gave it an B in that category. In computing our nursing scores, we assess both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our more positive scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 92.3821 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it 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 an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at is short-term care. This facility received a grade of C in the area. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
