Long-term Care Quality
This place's long-term care grade is more impressive than its overall score. Due to a quality performance in this area, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning residents more often.

This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was short-term care. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a C. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is frequently a fair measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on quality of care. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.
