Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to minimize negative health outcomes for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. In determining our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages 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 place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is short-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst area. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. Nevertheless, we would not judge this facility based only on one bad category, since it was awarded many superb grades in other categories. With our short-term care grade, we attempt to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
