Long-term Care Quality
Among the reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a strong long-term care score. Indeed, long-term care is its second most favorable category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of A. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.09638 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population.

Nurse Quality
Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning a patient more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed is short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. However, you should not assess this nursing home solely on a single bad area, as it earned some impressive grades in other categories. In our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this facility's case, it looks like it offered less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
