Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially would like to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it an A+ in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded strong marks in the category of long-term care as well. In fact, we gave it one of our most dominant grades in that area with a score of A+. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of C in this category is by no means a bad score. Our nursing score is based on quite a few datapoints, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. Although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning a resident even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is short-term care. We awarded this facility a D for our short-term care category, leaving this as the nursing home's weakest grade. Our short-term care scores are probably more important for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this nursing home was subpar in many staffing metrics we assessed. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.7 percent of its patients returning home.
