Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this proved to be a quality facility is it received a very impressive short-term care score. Short-term care turned out to be its best category. In that category, we gave this nursing home an impressive grade of A-. Our short-term care grade is often used to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Our nursing score weighs quite a few components, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was long-term care, where we awarded it an above average grade of B. This facility truly does not have any weak spots. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 92.19512 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
