We also wanted to note the fact that this facility excelled in our long-term care category. We awarded them an impressive score of A+ in this category. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents.

This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the average nursing home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. The nursing category consists of a handful of components, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed was short-term care, where this facility received a C. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. This is nevertheless not a terrible score. Our short-term care scores are vital for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not look like this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
