Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care score is notably more impressive than its overall score. It received one of our better scores in that category with a B+. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
This facility also performed well in the area of inspections. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are with residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next area, this facility received a C for long-term care, which we consider to be a decent grade. In determining our long-term care ratings, we assess the personal care received by the nursing home's patients. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.3871 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable total. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
