Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize that this facility earned near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded impressive marks in the category of short-term care as well. Consequently, it received one of our most favorable scores in that category with a score of A-. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our more favorable grades in our long-term care category as well, with a B. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.77528 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at was nursing. This facility was awarded a strong nursing score this year, with a B-. Although this is not quite as dominant as many of its other category grades, this remains a decent rating for this category. Our nursing grade is based on several data points, but the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also baked some quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This facility was subpar in a few of the major metrics we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are typically reliable measures of the quality of nursing care provided.
