Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall score, we awarded this facility a grade of A for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category grades was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B. Our short-term care grades are presumably more important for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing grade includes a handful of components, however, the most important one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was long-term care, which is the final category we scored. For this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated just 88.27161 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
