Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
In addition to a phenomenal overall grade, this facility also received A+ nursing grade. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the amount of time nurses spend with patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
Adding to its impressive category scores, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. 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
Building on its remarkable profile, this nursing home also received a strong long-term care score, with a score of A-. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 89.3617 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was short-term care, in which this facility was given a B. Although this is its poorest category score, this is still a quality grade. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
