In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home fared well in our long-term care category. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 83.83562 percent of its residents. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. There are a number of subcategories included in this area. Many of the criteria reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, this nursing home was awarded a grade of C for short-term care, which is a decent rating. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This category is frequently a meaningful assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
