Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
We want to note that this nursing home received a much better grade for long-term care than it did overall. In fact, we gave it one of our best grades in that area with a grade of A-. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping 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.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing score assesses many datapoints, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was short-term care, which ended up being this facility's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. Naturally, this score hurt the nursing home's overall grade a bit. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. It appears that this place was below average in multiple staffing metrics we looked at. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
