You can certainly do worse than this place. More information on this nursing home's category grades may be found below. Its best category was long-term care, which is addressed in the next section.

This place performed well in our long-term care category. We gave it an A for that area. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.6139 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. The last statistic we looked at is its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 2.75 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

We gave this facility just a D for our short-term care grade. This is not a score to write home about. Short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 47.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Moving on to our fourth category, we awarded this nursing home a D in our nursing category. This is the nursing home's worst category score. The nursing score includes many components, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
