Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home also received first-rate inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our best scores in that category, with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. We were not able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given impressive marks in the area of long-term care as well. As a result, we awarded it one of our most elite scores in that area with a score of A-. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the senior population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next best category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is an acceptable grade. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded was nursing. We awarded this facility a C in this category. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
