Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially want to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Our nursing score is largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next highest category score in the area of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is an acceptable score. Long-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's amount of nursing care. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After we finished assessing the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 92.987015 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more meaningful for people needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 1.9 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.
