Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ long-term care grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life or death illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This nursing home also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on the facility's recent government inspections. We gave it a grade of A for that category. Inspection scores are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspections. Places that excel in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. It does not appear that we have information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. It does not appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists.

We discovered that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area was nursing, which is the last category we looked at. In this category, we awarded this facility a D. We wanted to point out this potential weak link, however, you should not over-emphasize a single weak area either. Our nursing category analyzes many subcategories, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. While this nursing home's nursing hours are below average, it surprised us in some of the qualitative data points in this category. In particular, we were pleased to find that its patients appear to be experiencing fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
