Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive nursing score. Nursing actually turned out to be its best category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of A-. We analyzed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses worked with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This nursing home provides 0.4 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 avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's above average category grades came in the area of short-term care. We gave them one of our higher grades in that category, with a grade of B+. Short-term care grades are critical for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we have information about this nursing home's deficiencies. We would like to have more information about this nursing home. Without the deficiency data, it was difficult to grade it in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a grade of B. This facility didn't prove to have any weak categories. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.63899 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
