Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility earned a much better grade for short-term care than it received overall. It received one of our best grades in that category with a score of A. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home's inspection rating exceeded its overall score as well. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with a B. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. The nursing score consists of quite a few factors, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was long-term care, ended up being this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. This really was one of just a few dings of an otherwise impressive report card. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable percentage. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
