Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Part of the reason this proved to be a decent nursing home is it earned a very favorable nursing score. Its nursing rating is its best category. In that category, we awarded this facility a B+. We assessed the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our score in this area. 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This facility's second best category is inspections. In that area, we gave this facility a B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a middle of the pack grade in the category of short-term care, where it received a B-. Short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home was given an acceptable long-term care score of C. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
