Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this place overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections rating. This score is much more impressive than the place's overall grade. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that had a long list of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is largely associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a C in this area. In determining these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care. This nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that category. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 54.076088 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
