Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this facility performed so well overall is it excelled in nursing, with a B+ in that category. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we look at the amount of time nurses are seeing residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at is short-term care. This nursing home received an impressive short-term care grade, with a B in this area. Short-term care grades are often used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 3.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was long-term care, in which this facility was awarded a B. This nursing home did not turn out to have any noticeable weaknesses. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 97.10145 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
