Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this area.

Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple of 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 score. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an B. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home Pennsylvania in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning residents at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's next highest score was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat badly. Facilities that don't fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated just 85.11905 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was short-term care, which was a weak link for this facility. We gave this facility a D in the area of short-term care. Short-term care grades are typically employed to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. With a grade in this range in this area, we were not shocked to discover this nursing home was well below average in several staffing areas we assess. The facility offered significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
