This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a decent score in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was long-term care. This nursing home was given a C in the category. Our long-term care scores are vital for prospective residents seeking personal care. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated just 71.370964 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
