Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. With our short-term care category, we try to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we graded was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of B-. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 84.14634 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Our next category is nursing, where we awarded this facility a grade of C in that area. Our nursing category assesses many data points, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
