Nurse Quality
In addition to having a decent overall score, we also wanted to note that this nursing home received favorable nursing marks this year. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a B+. This proved to be the facility's top score. When computing a facility's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
This facility's second best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In that area, we gave this facility a B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of C in this category. In crafting our short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was long-term care, which ended up being this facility's weakest category. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 77.90368 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
