Long-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home a solid grade in our long-term care category, where it received a grade of B. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This facility also earned favorable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a B. Our inspection scores are based on items located in the a nursing home's government inspections. Facilities that excel in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. There are many subcategories within this grade. Most of the subcategories are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was short-term care, proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. In crafting these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Given its score in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.7 percent of its patients returning home.
