Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
In addition to faring well in its overall grade, this facility received even higher grades in the area of short-term care. It earned one of our highest scores in that area with an A. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. It received one of our best scores in that area with a score of B+. Few nursing homes with an overall score in this range performed this well in multiple categories. Inspection scores are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspections. Nursing homes that score well in this area typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor dings are not something to panic about.

Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. When determining our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home really didn't perform very well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in this category, this is clearly this facility's poorest category grade. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.24561 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
