Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of long-term care, with first-rate score of A in this area. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 94.318184 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not take any chances. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. Our nursing score is mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is certainly a major disappointment. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. It appears that this facility was below average in many staffing metrics we focus on. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.7 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.
