Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home excelled in our nursing category. We gave it a grade of A for that category. In computing our nursing ratings, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning residents at least once a day.
Facility Inspections
Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor dings aren't something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning our next area, this facility was awarded a top-shelf long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in this category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.93805 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is short-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of A-. This rounded out a very impressive report card. Few nursing homes received an A- or higher in every category. In determining these short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
