Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
In addition to earning a strong overall score, this facility performed well in short-term care. We awarded it an A for that category. Short-term care scores are crucial for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also performed well in inspections, which is based on the facility's inspections. We awarded it a grade of B+ for that area, which is one of our highest grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Nursing scores are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility an acceptable grade of C. This was this nursing home's worst category. In computing our long-term care ratings, we assess the assistance with daily living received by a nursing home's residents. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 71.1838 percent of its residents, which is slightly concerning. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
