Facility Inspections
Although we didn't give this place a good overall grade, we actually gave it a strong grade in the category of inspections, where it earned a B+. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid facilities that had a long list of deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. 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. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its next highest category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category, which is a respectable grade. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated just 22.17742 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a rock bottom grade. In forming these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Considering its weak score in this category, we were not shocked to learn that this nursing home provides significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
