Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Nursing grades are largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a decent grade in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of C. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most important for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care. This facility received a C for this area. Long-term care grades are used to measure a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 91.75825 percent of its patients. This is a few points below what we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
