Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. We weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
On the list of its many high-end scores, this facility was given a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a score of A in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 95.23809 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.59 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home.

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last category, this facility was awarded an acceptable short-term care grade. While this is not as impressive as a few of its other category grades, this is truly a middle of the pack score. Our short-term care ratings are probably more important for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This place performed respectably in this area with 46.6 percent of its patients returning home.
