This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This facility performed well in our short-term care category. Indeed, we gave it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our most favorable grades. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy.

This category of deficiency indicates CMS uncovered a widespread deficiency placing patient health or safety in immediate jeopardy. In spite of this major red flag, other aspects of this facility's inspection report gave us some hope.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was long-term care. This facility was awarded a strong long-term care grade this year, with a grade of C. Although this wasn't quite as dominant as a few of its other category grades, this remains a respectable grade in this category. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
