Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ for nursing. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded an A+ short-term care grade, rendering it one of the few nursing homes to receive several A+ category scores. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few facilities performed better in this category. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is long-term care, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B. Although this ended up being its least impressive category grade, this is nevertheless a strong score. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
