Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded strong scores in the category of long-term care as well. Consequently, we gave it one of our most dominant scores in that category with a area of A-. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third best area was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this category. Our short-term care grades are arguably more important for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the next category, this facility received an acceptable nursing grade of C. Nursing scores are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
