Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest grades. This boosted its profile. Short-term care grades are typically employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

This facility averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. Sadly, this category pulled down the facility's overall profile a bit. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 96.49123 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
