Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this place also earned first-rate inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in this category, with an A-. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so favorably is that it was awarded a very impressive long-term care grade. In fact, long-term care ended up being its second highest category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. Our nursing score consists of several components, however, the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home was awarded an acceptable short-term care grade of C. Our short-term care grades are probably most critical for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
