Nurse Quality
This nursing home's best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually outpaced most facilities in this category. We analyzed the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in computing our score in this category. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving residents at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable category ended up being its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. In crafting these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

This tells you that inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent danger to resident health or safety. We really didn't consider anything on this facility's inspection reports to be too concerning.

Our final area is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this area. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of services offered by a facility, rather than more sophisticated services.

We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinates 95.90643 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital.
