Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 98.01588 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our better scores in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is often a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we scored was nursing, which turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. Nevertheless, we wouldn't judge this facility solely on this area, since it had multiple impressive scores in other areas. The nursing rating analyzes many data points, but the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home offered just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Unfortunately, this facility also did not perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed for this category.
