Facility Inspections
It should be noted that this nursing home's inspection grade outpaced its overall grade. We awarded it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is one of our better scores. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home performed well in the area of nursing. We gave it a grade of B- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a respectable grade in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. 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 question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last category, this facility didn't perform very well. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is this facility's poorest category. In a long-term care environment, 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. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.45652 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable percentage. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
