Nurse Quality
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing grades are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. With 4.7 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this facility surpassed the national average. We also look at the qualifications of these nurses and add more weight to hours worked by skilled nurses. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these subcategories. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to discover that this facility received a solid short-term care grade in our assessment. We awarded it a B- in that area. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This category is often a meaningful assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. It also performed well in this area with 60.9 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we gave this facility a grade of B- for its long-term care score, which is not too bad of a score. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.35099 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.63 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.

Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home had 3 deficiencies on its inspection report.
