Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
One reason this facility fared so well overall is that it excelled in the area of short-term care, with a B+ in that area. Short-term care scores are meaningful for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of B+ in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. In computing our nursing ratings, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next area, this facility was awarded a high-end long-term care score. This nursing home did not prove to have any weak spots. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 91.21951 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a few points less than we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
