Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to note its excellent short-term care grade. We gave them an A- in this category. In computing our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. It doesn't look like this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home received top notch government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Nursing ratings are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averages 0.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area was long-term care, which is the final area we scored. In this category, we awarded this facility an D. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
