Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To pair with its strong overall score, we gave this facility a grade of A+ for inspections. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to this facility's list of accomplishments, it also was given a very favorable long-term care grade. We awarded them a strong grade of A- in this category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.87212 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a decent grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are important for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our next area, this facility was given a decent nursing grade. Even though this is not quite as impressive as a few of its other category grades, this is still not the end of the world. Our nursing rating considers a variety of subcategories. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared to most facilities. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percentage of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
