Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that category, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable area we awarded this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are likely more meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. When calculating a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses commit to patients as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is long-term care, ended up being this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
