Awards
Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our long-term care rating. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 95.76471 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Turning to inspections, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. Our inspection ratings are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Our nursing grade is based on several subcategories, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is short-term care. This facility was given a very good nursing grade this year, with a B. While this wasn't as impressive as many of its other scores, this is still one of the stronger grades for this category. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. It doesn't appear that this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
