Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is mostly based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable area ended up being short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a C. Our short-term care scores are arguably most critical for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care, is this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that area. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.21875 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
