This nursing home's nursing score was more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong performance in this category, it received one of our better scores in nursing with a B. The nursing grade weighs a handful of datapoints, but the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest category was its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth area, we awarded this facility a grade of D in our long-term care category. This is the nursing home's worst category grade. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 98.08917 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
