Nurse Quality
To go along with its decent overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A for our nursing rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. Our nursing score is largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable area we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

This nursing home had 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This indicates that this facility avoided the more ominous categories of deficiencies.

Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in this category. Our long-term care grades are more critical for folks in need of more conventional assistance associated with activities of daily living. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.22222 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations.
