Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent health inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded an impressive grade in our short-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B+ in that area. In our short-term care score, we strive to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
This facilities third most favorable category was long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The next category we analyzed is nursing. This facility was awarded a C in this category. We analyzed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below average. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We like to look at the percentage of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these issues.
