Facility Inspections
While this facility received a decent overall score, its inspections score is notably more impressive than its overall score. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it received one of our better scores in that category with a B+. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more favorable category scores came in the category of long-term care. This wound up being its second best category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled nursing and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.18367 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest area ended up being its short-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of B-. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our fourth category, this facility was awarded a C for nursing, which we consider to be a respectable rating. In determining a facility's nursing rating, we look at the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
