Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its third most favorable category score in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this category, which is a decent grade. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's personal care rather than the highly skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth area, this nursing home was given a grade of C for short-term care, which is generally a respectable score. Our short-term care scores are considered to be most critical for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
