Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility earned near flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This top notch facility also was superb in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a score of A+. Very few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our short-term care scores are likely more meaningful for individuals needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. The nursing grade analyzes several subcategories, but the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. While this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving patients even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored ended up being this facility's worst area. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it an acceptable grade of C for our long-term care category. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to measure a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
