Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is it received a very impressive short-term care rating. Short-term care is its best category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an A. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our nursing grade. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections
Adding to its strong resume, this facility earned a grade of B for its inspections rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of C. While this is its lowest category rating, this is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. Our long-term care grades are critical for individuals needing non-healthcare services such as personal care. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's vaccination rates. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
