Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received 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. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had a generally positive view of this facility's inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more favorable category grades came in the category of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this area. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.28496 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. In determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the number of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the skill levels of the nurses. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is a rock bottom score. This is clearly a significant concern. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With its weak grade in this category, we weren't shocked to find this place provided significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
