Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
To pair with its impressive overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A- for our nursing grade. There are a host of factors within this grade. Most of these subcategories relate to nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B in this area. With our short-term care grade, we try to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections
Furthermore, this facility also earned impressive inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of B. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed is long-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in that category. Long-term care grades are typically used to assess a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 77.46479 percent of its patients. This is several points less than the national average. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
