Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an A-. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are with patients and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Another quality feature for this facility is that it was given an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, this wound up being its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a B+. In forming our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our better scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
In our last category, inspections proved to be this nursing home's worst area. It earned a score of C in this area. Inspection scores relate to a facility's government inspection reports. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 9 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This means that it dodged the more significant categories of deficiencies. We didn't find anything on this nursing home's inspection reports to be too alarming.
