Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
This nursing home received a nursing rating which is better than its overall rating. We gave this facility an above average grade of B in this category. We weighed the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our score in this area. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second best category ended up being its long-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its next best category score in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is an acceptable grade. Our short-term care grades are considered to be most important for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Facility Inspections
The final category we looked at is inspections. This grade is based on the facility's recent government inspections. We awarded it a C in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. Despite not having the highest inspection grade, its deficiency-free report is still a strong achievement.
