Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This place performed well in the area of long-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 98.839905 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another area where this nursing home excelled. In fact, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as 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 health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality
The next area we looked at was nursing, where we gave this facility an F. This was definitely one of this facility's major weaknesses. The nursing rating features a number of factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is an abysmal score. This is clearly a major disappointment. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
