This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility really excelled in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a score of A. Very few nursing homes performed better in this category. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.

We also gave this nursing home a middle of the road score in the category of long-term care, with a grade of B-. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled therapy or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated a relatively low 85.71429 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
In the last area we looked at, we found that this nursing home earned a solid inspection report this year as well. As a result, it received a decent score in our inspection category with a B-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
