Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an A+ long-term care grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 96.07251 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection scores are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This rating is generally a useful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services.

The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed is nursing, ended up being this facility's weakest category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. This is one of just a few weak points on a quality profile. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Unfortunately, this nursing home also didn't perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality measures we looked at in this category.
