Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received a much better grade for nursing than it received overall. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A-. The nursing score considers a number of subcategories. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given an impressive score in our short-term care category. We gave this nursing home a better than average grade of B in that area. Short-term care grades are typically used to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections
This facility earned a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst category is long-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of D. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 95.2381 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
