Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A couple relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a positive short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave them a B in that area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. We weighed the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses worked with residents, in determining our rating in this area. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in that category. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
