This nursing home performed well in our long-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that category, which happens to be one of our higher scores. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis.

This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes.

This facilities third best area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this area. In crafting our short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

The next category we looked at is nursing. We awarded this facility a grade of C in that area. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic.
