This place performed well in the area of long-term care, where it received an A-. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our nursing rating assesses quite a few subcategories, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, nursing ratings also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive area was short-term care, which is the final category we assessed. For this category, we gave this facility a D. Our short-term care grades are presumably most meaningful for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
