Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
On top of performing well overall, this place earned a very good short-term care grade this year as well. We gave it one of our better scores in that category with a B+. Short-term care scores are vital for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given an impressive long-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher grades in that area with a score of B. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at is nursing. This facility was awarded a grade of C in this area. The nursing grade considers many subcategories. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we also considered a few quality-based statistics in this category. Although this facility didn't rank highly in terms of nursing hours per resident, it fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this nursing home fared better than the national average. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided with better nursing care.
