Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a favorable short-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we gave them a B in that category, which is one of our more favorable scores. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

This figure is far below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
Our final category is long-term care, where we gave this nursing home a grade of C in that category. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 94.14634 percent of its residents. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
