Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility excelled at short-term care. In fact, we gave it an impressive grade of A for that category. Short-term care grades are generally used to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
In our last category, this nursing home also was awarded a very strong long-term care score, with a grade of B+. This wrapped up an elite report card. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.44444 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
