Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall score, this facility also earned top notch government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best grades in that category, with an A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to this nursing home's list of achievements, it also received a high-end long-term care grade. We awarded them a strong grade of A in this category. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.96194 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. The nursing score analyzes many factors, but the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at ended up being this facility's poorest area. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it a respectable grade of C for short-term care. Short-term care grades are generally employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
