Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an impressive long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.71245 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Nursing ratings are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated was short-term care, ended up being this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. This really is one of just a few weak links on a quality profile. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
