Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home one of our better grades in the area of short-term care, where it received an A-. This is notably better than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most critical for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
This facility also earned a strong inspection score. Inspection grades are based on the nursing home's recent health inspections. We gave this facility a B in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. Long-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's volume of care. This includes a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 85.2 percent of its patients, which is well below average. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at was nursing. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. The nursing score is based on quite a few components, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving patients more frequently.
