Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B+. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.07372 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this facility an D. The nursing grade is based on quite a few subcategories, however, the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility didn't fare very well. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is this nursing home's poorest category grade. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical nursing home. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.5 percent of its residents returning home.
