Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality facility is that it earned an impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In that category, we awarded it a grade of A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing grade is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received an impressive short-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area with a grade of B. Our short-term care scores are vital for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this area. Long-term care grades assess a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.283264 percent of its patients. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
