Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
On top of faring well overall, this nursing home received a quality nursing score as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in this category with a grade of B+. Our nursing score consists of several components, but the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in inspections. It earned a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that category with an B+. Few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range performed as well in multiple categories. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
