Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor dings are not something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a strong short-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing score assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is long-term care. We gave it a C in that area. This is not a bad grade in this category. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
