This nursing home's best category score came in nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. It outpaced most facilities in this area. Our nursing rating analyzes many factors, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

This facility's second best category is inspections. In that area, we gave this facility a B. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

This nursing home's third most favorable category was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this area. Our short-term care scores are crucial for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. Finally, we considered the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

The next category we graded was long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in this category. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.53271 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
