Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a strong long-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 89.16155 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is slightly below what we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, this facility also received favorable short-term care grades this year. In fact, we gave them one of our stronger grades in that area, with a score of B+. In determining our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated was nursing, where this nursing home was given a B-. This actually is this nursing home's worst area. This is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. Our nursing category consists of many components, many of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are measures of the quality of nursing care.
