Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave it an A+. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities second most favorable category is short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

The nursing rating assesses a handful of factors, but the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last category, this nursing home was given a respectable long-term care grade of C. Our long-term care grade focuses on a nursing home's personal care instead of the skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 96.57534 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
