Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in nursing, where it received a grade of A. Our nursing score looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also received top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with an B+. Inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded a favorable short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B. In determining these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was long-term care. We awarded this facility an acceptable grade in this area, with a B-. While this was not as dominant as a few of this facility's other scores, it is still a middle of the pack score. With our long-term care category, we analyze the sheer volume of services provided by a facility, as well as some qualitative metrics. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 82.94118 percent of its residents against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
