In calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area.

One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in that category. In determining our long-term care scores, we analyze the assistance with daily living received by a facility's patients. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
