We would like to point out that this facility's nursing score exceeded its overall grade. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. The nursing score considers several factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This nursing home also received favorable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a B. This is better than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's government inspections. Places that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

This facility's next best area ended up being its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Our next area is long-term care, in which we awarded this facility a grade of C in this area. Our long-term care ratings are critical for residents requiring personal care. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 99.55556 percent of its patients, which is a very solid datapoint. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
