Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. This salvaged its profile. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. In fact, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Inspection grades are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality
The next most favorable category we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our long-term care grade focuses on a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled nursing and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.04535 percent of its residents. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in that category. This is a decent grade in this category. Our nursing grade is based on several components, but the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area.
