Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
We also want to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A for nursing. Nursing grades are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This particular nursing home 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 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 many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was dominant in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This score is typically a reliable assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a high-end long-term care grade. This actually turned out to be this facility's third strongest category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of A-. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 91.93246 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
In the final category we looked at, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a B+. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
