Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for short-term care. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a very impressive long-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be this nursing home's second best category grade. In that category, this facility received a grade of A. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.248116 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections
Racking up yet another strong category grade, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this facility received a high-end nursing rating. We awarded it a B+ in that area, topping off one of our more favorable report cards. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the amount of time nurses are with patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This place was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
