Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
This facility's nursing score was better than its overall grade. With a strong performance in this category, it received one of our better scores in that category with a B+. The nursing score weighs quite a few datapoints, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving patients more often.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. In fact, we gave this facility an B+ for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility was given its next highest category grade in the category of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is an acceptable score. Our short-term care grades are thought to be most important for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is long-term care. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of C. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 97.9798 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
