Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
To pair with its strong overall score, we gave this nursing home an A for our nursing grade. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. 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 facility 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 frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is long-term care. This facility was awarded a top-shelf long-term care score. We gave them a strong grade of A- in this area. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 90.40768 percent of its residents. This is a few points below what we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was short-term care, in which this facility was awarded a grade of B-. Even though this ended up being its poorest category rating, this is nevertheless not a bad grade. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most critical for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. 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, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
