Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's best category grade came in our short-term care category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. It outperformed many nursing homes in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also received a strong inspection score. Inspection grades are based on the facility's recent government inspections. We awarded this nursing home a B in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. There are a variety of criteria included in this grade. Many of the factors reflect nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other facilities. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a D in this area. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.32886 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
