Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our long-term care rating. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.2228 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Nursing ratings are mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a B+. This rounded out a very favorable profile. Very few nursing homes earned a B+ or higher in in each area we assessed. Our short-term care scores are probably more important for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
