Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this place also earned first-rate government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in this area, with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's impressive category scores came in the area of long-term care. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with a score of B+. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.29073 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is somewhat lower than we expected but still a respectable figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our higher scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed was nursing, which was this facility's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a D in that category. Unfortunately, this score pulled down the nursing home's overall grade to a certain degree. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Unfortunately, this facility also didn't perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed for this category.
