Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
The main reason this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of A-. The nursing grade includes many subcategories, but the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 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 nursing home 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 generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to point out that this facility was awarded positive short-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our higher scores in this category, with a grade of B. This turned out to be the facility's second highest grade. Our short-term care grades are likely most meaningful for residents needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
The third most favorable category we gave this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 90.97744 percent of its residents, which is a bit less than we were hoping for. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Turning the final category of inspections, this ended up being this facility's weakest link. Inspection grades are based on a facility's recent inspection reports. We gave this nursing home a D in this category, which is a very poor grade. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular facility had one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had the potential to pose actual harm to patients. Finally, this facility also received 7 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
