Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. The nursing score assesses many factors, however, the main consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.6 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Short-term care grades are important for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community.

Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this facility also received favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our higher grades in that area, with a score of B+. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.611115 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to minimize negative health outcomes for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Finishing off its excellent profile, this nursing home also performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a score of B+ for that category. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.
