Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to this nursing home's list of achievements, it also was given a fine long-term care grade. We awarded them a dominant strong of A- in this category. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it received a grade of B+. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this category. Short-term care grades are critical for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we rated was nursing. In this category, we gave this facility a decent grade of C. This actually was this nursing home's worst area. Nursing scores are largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We like to look at the percent of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these issues.
