Nurse Quality
One of the reasons this facility performed well overall is that it excelled in the area of nursing, with a B+ in that area. It outperformed many facilities in this category. Nursing grades are primarily tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was given a score of B+. It outpaced most nursing homes in this category. Short-term care grades are often used to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. We weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

The next area we graded was long-term care. This nursing home received a favorable long-term care score, with a B in this category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 75.57252 percent of its residents. This is slightly below what we were hoping for. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this place 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.
Facility Inspections
Moving on to our inspection category, it appears this nursing home has received quality government inspections in recent years as well. We gave it a B- in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
