Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home fared well in short-term care. We awarded it an A for that category. In our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its impressive resume, this facility also excelled in the area of nursing. We awarded it an B+ for that category. Our nursing score is mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls.

Facility Inspections
Another area of strength for this nursing home is in inspections. Inspections proved to be one of its best categories. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive area was long-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. We gave it an abysmal F in this category. Even with multiple excellent scores in other areas, this score is nevertheless somewhat concerning so we felt obligated to make a note of it. Facilities that do not score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility gave the vaccine to only 78.19549 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
