Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate deficiency data for this facility. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without having complete deficiency related data, it is difficult to fully evaluate it in the inspections category.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's above average category scores came in the area of short-term care. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B+. In forming these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. The nursing category weighs quite a few subcategories, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was long-term care. We gave this facility a decent grade in that area, with a grade of B-. While this was not as high as several of this facility's other scores, it is still a middle of the pack score. In the category of long-term care, we weigh the amount of services provided by a facility, as opposed to more healthcare-oriented services. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.18033 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
