Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility an A for our short-term care grade. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive scores, this facility earned an excellent nursing score. We gave it an B+ in that area. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we consider the number of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.3 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 country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning a patient at least once a day.

Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home earned a very good inspection report this year as well. For this reason, it received one of our higher scores in that area with a grade of B. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive category was long-term care, which is the last area we looked at. Sadly, it received an F in this area. Even with multiple impressive grades in other areas, this grade is still a bit concerning so we felt obligated to make a note of it. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinates 96.190475 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
