Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility performed well in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Few places performed as well in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to this facility's list of accomplishments, it also was given a top-shelf long-term care score. We awarded them an elite grade of A- in this category. When facilities receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to avoid negative health outcomes for the elderly population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received a favorable short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category with a score of B. In our short-term care rating, we try to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed is nursing, turned out to be this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a D in that area. This really is one of just a couple of weak links of a strong profile. When calculating a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients and the skill levels of the nurses. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Unfortunately, this place also didn't fare as well as we hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in this category.
