Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received a very strong long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a grade of A+ in this area, which really helped out its overall score. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections
This facility earned a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in the area of short-term care, making this the facility's least impressive area. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this nursing home was subpar in several staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4 percent of its residents returning home.
