Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
This nursing home earned a strong overall grade as discussed above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent nursing grade. We gave them an A in this category. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its profile, this facility also received a grade of B for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections
Another strong feature for this facility is that it excelled in inspections, with a B in that category. It performed better than most nursing homes in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was long-term care, ended up being this facility's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. This really was one of just a few weak links on a strong profile. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility administered the vaccine to only 74.60317 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
