We would like to point out that this nursing home's long-term care score exceeded its overall score. This nursing home earned a B in this category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 98.52399 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists.

The facility offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either.
