Long-term Care Quality
Even though this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, we gave it a B- for long-term care. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this facility administered the vaccine to only 81.33704 percent of its residents, which is somewhat concerning. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a middle of the pack score in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. In our short-term care assessment, we seek to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The important question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned mediocre inspections in recent years. We awarded them a C in this category. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This tells you that it avoided the more significant categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Nurse Quality
Our next category is nursing, where we gave this facility a C in this category. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in determining our score in this category. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
