Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's best category grade came in the category of inspections. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded an impressive long-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we gave them a B+ in this category, which is one of our better. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are tied to nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this subcategory. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving a patient at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in short-term care. This is the facility's weakest category grade. Unfortunately, this category hurt the nursing home's overall grade to a certain degree. Our short-term care grade is typically used to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
