Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. In determining our nursing ratings, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's higher category grades was in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. With our short-term care grade, we try to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in the area of long-term care, rendering this the nursing home's weakest area. For patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.62687 percent of its residents, which is an above average figure. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
