Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
On top of being a strong facility overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our nursing grade. Nursing ratings are largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our more favorable grades in our long-term care category as well, with a B. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was short-term care, where this facility was awarded a B. This facility ended up being relatively strong in all areas we analyzed. Our short-term care grades are presumably most meaningful for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
