Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that area, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its next highest category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
The third highest category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. In our long-term care rating, we look at the sheer volume of care offered by a facility, as well as some qualitative measures. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the fourth category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in our nursing category. This was the nursing home's weakest category score. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in computing our rating in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
