Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher scores in that area, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are primarily based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This facilities third most favorable category is long-term care. We gave it a C in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. Long-term care grades focus on a nursing home's personal care rather than the skilled therapy or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.424065 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was short-term care. We awarded it a C in that area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
