Nurse Quality
In addition to performing well in its overall score, this nursing home received even higher grades in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it one of our highest grades in that category with an A. We weighed the skill-level of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility 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 generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home truly excelled in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Only a select group of facilities performed more favorably in this category. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, we gave this facility a D in the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's worst category grade. Unfortunately, this grade hurt the facility's overall grade to some degree. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.2278 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
