This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Turning to our inspection category, this facility excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category.

Long-term Care Quality
We also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was awarded a strong grade of A- in our long-term care area. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize negative health outcomes for the elderly population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is short-term care, where this facility was given a B+. This completed an elite report card. Only a select few nursing homes earned a B+ or better in each of our categories. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
