Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This category is often a fair assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections
Moving on to our inspection category, this nursing home excelled in that category, which is based on the nursing home's recent government inspection reports. In fact, we gave it a score of A- for that category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the fourth area, this facility was awarded an acceptable long-term care score. While this was not quite as dominant as a few of its other scores, this is really not a terrible score. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care instead of the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 93.548386 percent of its patients, which is somewhat below what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
