You could certainly do much worse than this facility. More information on this nursing home's category grades is available below. Its best category is long-term care, which is addressed in the next section.

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home performed well in long-term care. We awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of providing very favorable levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. This combination proved to be effective as this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.56 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

This facility also excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

The third area we analyzed is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a C. Our short-term care grade is typically used to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that it performed respectably in this area with 47.4 percent of its residents returning home.

The next category we graded was nursing, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in this category. Sadly, this category pulled down the facility's overall profile to some degree. The nursing grade weighs several subcategories, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. According to CMS records, this place averaged 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This was actually above the national average. Keep in mind, however, that when we compute our nursing ratings, we apply more weight to hours performed by nurses with a higher level of skill. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving a resident more even once per day.
