Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall score, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong performance in other categories, we gave this nursing home an B for our nursing rating. There are many criteria within this area. Most of the factors relate to levels of nurse staffing. 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 facility 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 frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, this nursing home also earned a score of B for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this area. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 95.27363 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. In our short-term care grade, we strive to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
