Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, with an A- in this area. This really propped up its overall grade. In crafting our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. The nursing rating assesses several components, but the most important one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive area is long-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. For this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 67.59259 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit less than what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
