Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
We wanted to point out that this nursing home's long-term care grade outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for its long-term care grade, which is one of our higher scores. This helped its overall score. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.017624 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. 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.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to note that this nursing home earned an B in the area of nursing. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections
This facility's inspection grade was yet another category grade that was superior to the nursing home's overall grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, this nursing home received a decent short-term care grade of C. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
