Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our short-term care grade. Our short-term care ratings are important for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
Another strong feature for this nursing home was inspections, where it received a B in that category. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality
Our last area is long-term care, in which we awarded this nursing home a B- in this area. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for those needing more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.9899 percent of its patients, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations.
