Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility performed well in our short-term care category. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which turns out to be one of our highest grades. In forming these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a score of B. It performed better than most facilities 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 medical care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.64789 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The last category we looked at is nursing, where this nursing home was awarded a B-. Even though this turned out to be its lowest category score, this is still not a terrible score. Our nursing grade weighs a handful of data points, many of which are based on nursing hours. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
