This facility provided the vaccine to 98.66221 percent of its patients, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility's weakest category is short-term care, which is the last area we looked at. We gave it a lowly F for this area. Even with multiple respectable scores in other categories, this grade is still of a concern so we felt obligated to draw your attention to it. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is frequently a meaningful measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
