Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Part of the reason this nursing home performed so well overall is that it excelled in nursing, with a grade of B+ in that area. In determining our nursing ratings, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received an impressive short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B. Short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It does not appear that this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections
Another strong feature for this nursing home is that it excelled in the area of inspections, with a grade of B in that category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next category is long-term care, where we gave this nursing home a grade of B- in that category. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
