Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
On top of earning a great overall score, this facility also received an excellent short-term care score, with an impressive grade of A. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most meaningful for individuals needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. 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 datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Turning to inspections, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the nursing home's inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without the deficiency data, it is challenging to fully assess it in the area of inspections.

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. There are numerous criteria within this area. Many of the criteria relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the last area, this facility was given a decent long-term care score. Although this was not quite as impressive as a few of its other scores, this is truly not a terrible score. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 95.77465 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
