Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
On top of being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics 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
We also gave this facility a grade of A+ for its short-term care grade. In forming these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections
Tallying yet another strong category grade, this nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it received a score of A. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B-. Although this wound up being its lowest category rating, this is still not a major area of concern. Long-term care grades are essential for individuals seeking non-healthcare services such as personal care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.22034 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is slightly less than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
