Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing rating was better than its overall grade. Due to a strong performance in this category, it earned a quality score in nursing with a grade of B+. Our nursing grade weighs several factors, but the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics 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.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. It actually outpaced most facilities in this category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
This facilities next most favorable area was long-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 91.304344 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we expected but still a respectable figure. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
The final category we looked at is inspections. Unfortunately, this nursing home didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We had to give it an F in this area. Since this data is collected by independent government inspectors, we tend to heavily weight a poor performance in this category. This really pulled down this facility's overall score. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. Amazingly, this particular nursing didn't have any deficiencies on its inspection report. Clearly, this was not the area dragging down its inspection grade. Finally, this facility also received 6 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
