Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this facility an A for the area of inspections. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given high scores in the area of long-term care as well. In fact, we gave it one of our most favorable scores in that area with a area of A-. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a deadly health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not take any chances. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. In calculating our nursing ratings, we analyze both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was this facility's worst area. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of B- in our short-term care category. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
