Facility Inspections
This nursing home's overall grade was bolstered by the fact that it has received favorable inspections in recent years. We awarded it a strong score in this category, with a grade of B+. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 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 facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing grades are largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its next most favorable 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 grade. Our short-term care ratings are likely more meaningful for those in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is long-term care, is this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a D in that area. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.45223 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
