Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
We would like to point out that this place's long-term care score exceeded its overall score. This facility earned a B+ in this category. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Nursing scores are primarily based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we analyzed was short-term care, where this facility was given a B- in this area. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Facility Inspections
Moving on to our inspection category, it appears this facility has earned quality government inspections in recent years as well. We gave it a B- in this category. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
