Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to this facility's list of accomplishments, it also was given a top-shelf long-term care grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.82353 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a favorable short-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this category. Our short-term care grades are vital for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home was given a decent nursing rating. Although this wasn't as impressive as a few of its other grades, this is truly not a bad grade. The nursing score analyzes quite a few factors, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percentage of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are measures of the quality of nursing care.
