Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home fared well in our long-term care category. We gave it an impressive grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.65101 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it received an A. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. When determining a facility's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses spend with patients and the level of skill of the nurses. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this subcategory. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving patients at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care, which is this facility's least impressive area. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously somewhat disappointing. Our short-term care scores are critical for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this place was below average in multiple staffing metrics we focus on. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
