Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We also found that this nursing home excelled at short-term care. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Our short-term care grades are likely most meaningful for those needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. We looked at the levels of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses spent with residents, in determining our grade in this area. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning patients more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed ended up being this nursing home's worst area. However, even its worst category would be a strength for most nursing homes. We awarded it a strong grade of B in our long-term care category. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 84.88372 percent of its patients. This is a bit below what we anticipated but still a decent percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
