Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the area of long-term care. We awarded it an impressive grade of A- for that category. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of B+ in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing rating weighs many datapoints, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a resident more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this nursing home did not perform well. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is this facility's poorest category. In determining our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. With a score this poor in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing figures we focus on. The nursing home offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
