Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a short-term care grade which is better than its overall grade. We awarded this facility a B+ in this area. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it earned a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. We assessed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses worked with residents, in computing our score in this area. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, nursing ratings also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded it a C in that category. This is a decent grade in this area. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 86.33721 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly below average. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
