Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We want to note that this facility received a far better grade for short-term care than it received overall. In fact, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A-. In forming our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. The nursing grade includes many factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was long-term care, ended up being this facility's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in this area. This is one of just a few dings of an otherwise strong report card. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 95.970695 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
