Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home earned high grades in the category of nursing as well. It received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of B-. Nursing scores are primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a respectable score in the category of long-term care, with a C. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in this area. With our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
