Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's best category grade came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It outpaced most nursing homes in this category. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 88.852455 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The second best area we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care scores are arguably more critical for residents in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored is nursing. We gave it a B- in this category. This is not a bad grade in this area. There are quite a few subcategories included in this area. Most of the factors relate to nurse staffing. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Finally, our nursing scores also consider some quality-focused metrics. We especially look at the percentage of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these problems.
