Long-term Care Quality
On top of a strong overall score, this facility also received a favorable long-term care grade this year. In fact, we awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with a B+. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 94.303795 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.45 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it was given a grade of B. It outpaced most facilities in this category. Our short-term care scores are presumably more critical for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. This nursing home provides a decent amount of services from physical therapists and registered nurses based on our assessment. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This place fared better than most nursing homes in this area with 53.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Our last area is nursing, in which we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that area. When computing a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This facility provides an impressive 3.9 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, this nursing home was relatively weak in some of the major data points we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
