Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing actually ended up being its best category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A-. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place 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
In addition, this nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it earned an B+. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our third category, this facility also received a score of B for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are well cared for. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed was short-term care, in which we gave it an above average grade of B. This nursing home truly does not have any weak spots. In crafting our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
