On top of being a quality facility overall, this nursing home really performed well in the area of long-term care, where it received an A. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.15254 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Turning to another one of this facility's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be one of its best category grades. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A. Inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspections. Nursing homes that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients.

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Nursing scores are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The final area we looked at was short-term care, which was a weak link for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for our short-term care category, making this the nursing home's least impressive category. We'd nevertheless suggest that you look at the bigger picture. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
