Long-term Care Quality
We wanted to point out that this place's long-term care rating outpaced its overall grade. We gave it a B for its long-term care grade, which is one of our better scores. This propped up its overall score. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also earned a very favorable inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score turned out to be its second best category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a solid grade in the category of short-term care, where it received a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we scored was nursing, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these scores hurt this facility's nursing rating significantly.
