Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing rating analyzes several subcategories, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. According to CMS records, this facility averaged 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Keep in mind that when we calculate our nursing grades, we add more weight to hours performed by nurses with a higher level of skill. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this category. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most critical for those needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. One reason for this facility's strong score in this category is that it provides more care with registered nurses to its residents than the average nursing home. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that were able to return home from this facility. This place also fared well in this metric with 60.3 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final category, this facility was given a grade of B- for long-term care, which is generally a respectable rating. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 94.38596 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.37 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
