Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Contributing to its superb resume, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a score of A- in the category. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our stronger grades in our long-term care category as well, with a B+. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final category we assessed proved to be this facility's weakest category. However, even its weakest link would actually be a highlight for most nursing homes. We gave it a favorable grade of B for nursing. Our nursing rating consists of many data points, however, the main one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these statistics as predictive measures of the quality of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
