Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
On top of earning a great overall grade, this facility really excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an A-. There are several factors within this grade. Many of these factors are tied to staffing levels. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area was its long-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. In computing our long-term care ratings, we assess the facility's personal care services. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care score. This is not a very good score. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. With its poor grade in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this nursing home offers substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 2.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility did not receive a favorable inspection grade. We gave it a grade of just just D in this category. Inspection grades relate to a facility's government inspection reports. One of the most significant factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We would scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 28 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
