Nurse Quality
In addition to having a decent overall score, we also wanted to note that this facility received favorable nursing marks this year. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a B. This proved to be the facility's top score. Our nursing grade weighs quite a few components, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a patient even once per day.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned a strong inspection grade. Inspection grades are based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. We awarded this facility a B in this area. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to note that this nursing home was given positive short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our more favorable grades in this category, with a B. Our short-term care grade is often employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth category, this nursing home did not fare very well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is this nursing home's worst category grade. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinates 98.42519 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
