Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. 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 also was awarded a strong long-term care score. As a matter of fact, we gave them a B+ in this area, which is one of our better. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 93.891106 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be slightly lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's third highest category was short-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared relatively poorly. Short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's weakest area was nursing, which is the last area we analyzed. It received an F for this area. In spite of several decent scores in other categories, this grade is still concerning so we wanted to make sure you are aware. The nursing score analyzes several components, many of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. In addition to receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this facility was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
