Nurse Quality
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but it really excelled in nursing care, with an impressive grade of A in this category. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more favorable category grades was in the category of long-term care. This turned out to be its second most favorable category. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. Our long-term care ratings are essential for individuals looking for personal care. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 93.66197 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this nursing home 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 a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections
Next we looked at this facility's inspection grade This grade is based on the facility's recent inspections. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this category. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This place had 10 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This indicates that inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent danger to resident safety or health. We didn't consider anything on this place's inspection reports to be overly concerning.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is short-term care. We gave it an F in this category, which is a rock bottom score. This is clearly a significant concern. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home provides significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical nursing home. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
