Facility Inspections
This nursing home received an inspection grade which is stronger than its overall rating. Inspection scores are based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B+ in this category. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an B-. The nursing grade is based on quite a few subcategories, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable category is its short-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final item we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was long-term care, which was this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 97.24311 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
