A+
Historical
On top of receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home also received an A+ in short-term care. Our short-term care grade is often employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation.

Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered substantially more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. It outperformed the overwhelming majority of facilities in the country in this area with 62.5 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality
A-
Historical
This facility received even higher grades in the area of nursing. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A-. In computing our nursing scores, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home offers 3.6 hours of nursing care per patient daily, of which more than an hour of those were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the more highly skilled nurses. In determining our nursing scores, we add more weight to hours performed by registered nurses. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
D
Historical
The last area we scored was long-term care, which is a low point for this facility. We gave this facility a D for our long-term care category, leaving this as the nursing home's least impressive area. We'd still recommend that you look at the bigger picture. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.54128 percent of its residents, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.59 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
