Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
This nursing home received a nursing score which is stronger than its overall grade. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the number of hours the nurses were with patients, in computing our grade in this area. 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This facility's inspection grade also was better than its overall grade. Due to a quality inspection report this year, it received one of our better scores in that category with a B. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had favorable view of this facility's inspections.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care, where this facility was given a grade of C in this category. Our long-term care ratings are more important for people needing more traditional services associated with personal care. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 70.833336 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Our next category is short-term care, where we gave this facility a C in that area. Our short-term care grades are believed to be most meaningful for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
