Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's long-term care score outpaced its overall score. In fact, we gave it a B for its long-term care score. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Our nursing score is based on several factors, but the primary one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest category is short-term care, which is the final category we assessed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Considering its weak grade in this area, we were not shocked to discover that this nursing home provides significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
