Quick Details
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility one of our better scores in the area of nursing, with an A-. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures 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.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to point out that this facility was given positive short-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our higher grades in that category, with a grade of B+. This turned out to be the facility's second strongest score. Short-term care grades are generally employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
The third most favorable category we gave this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Our long-term care grades are more meaningful for people requiring more traditional services associated with activities of daily living. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very solid datapoint. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
The final category we looked at is inspections. We gave it a C in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this category. Nevertheless, it wasn't as favorable as some of this nursing home's other grades. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This indicates it dodged the more serious classes of deficiencies. We did not find anything on this place's inspection report to be overly concerning.
