Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this area. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the area of long-term care, where it was given a score of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this category. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.7359 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. We looked at the levels of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving a resident more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst category is short-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. In our short-term care category, we seek to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this facility's case, it looks like it offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
