Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this facility an A. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided 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 place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
Another strong feature for this facility was inspections, where it received a grade of B in that area. It outperformed most facilities in this area. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

The third area we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a B- in this category. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This category is typically a meaningful measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

The next area we rated was long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in that area. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's personal care instead of the highly skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.27536 percent of its patients. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
