In our short-term care rating, we attempt to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's offerings 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 every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final category we assessed is long-term care, where this facility was given a B. While this wound up being its lowest category score, this is still an above average score. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.797356 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations.
