Nurse Quality
This facility's nursing rating is better than its overall grade. Due to a strong performance in this category, it earned one of our better scores in nursing with a B. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses worked with residents, in computing our score in this category. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades was in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this area. In calculating these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections
This facility's inspection rating was yet another category grade that was superior to the facility's overall grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated was long-term care. It received an abysmal F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. This is certainly a major concern. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 85.23003 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points lower than average. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
