Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we want to note its excellent short-term care grade. We gave them an A- in this area. Short-term care scores are critical for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless inspections recently. We awarded them an A- in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor dings aren't the end of the world.

The nursing rating is based on a handful of components, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last area, this facility received a respectable long-term care grade. While this isn't nearly as good as a few of its other scores, this is still not a terrible score. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for residents in need of more traditional services associated with personal care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.36306 percent of its residents. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
