Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility earned near flawless health inspections recently. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's quality category scores came in the category of short-term care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B+. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we gave them one of our more positive grades in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.93617 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still gave it a decent grade of B- in our nursing category. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. While this place didn't have as many nursing hours as many of the other facilities we looked at, it was still better than average in the area of avoiding major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator of how carefully a facility's nursing staff is tending to its residents. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses and better safety protocols are in place.
