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.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we awarded this facility a grade of B in our long-term care category. This is one of our more impressive grades. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the senior population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of D for the area of short-term care, making this the nursing home's least impressive area. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.6 percent of its residents returning home.
