Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our nursing grade. The nursing category assesses a handful of components, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning a resident more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also was given a very favorable long-term care grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this area. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 93.478264 percent of its patients. This is a few points lower than we expected but still a decent percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third highest area is its short-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
In the final category of government inspections, we gave this facility a C for this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled J through L. This tells you inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to put resident health or safety in immediate harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
