Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection scores are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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
This nursing home was awarded strong scores in the category of long-term care as well. Indeed, it received one of our most superb scores in that area with a area of A-. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 92.45283 percent of its patients. This is a few points less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Our nursing grade is based on several datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most facilities. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last category, we gave this nursing home a D for the area of short-term care. This is the facility's weakest category score. Sadly, this score hurt the facility's overall grade to some degree. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 3.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
