Facility Inspections
This facility's overall score was propped up by the fact that it has received favorable inspections in recent years. We gave them a strong score in this category, with a grade of B+. This is a much better score than the nursing home's overall grade. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a favorable score in long-term care. This facility earned a grade of B in this area, which turns out to be one of our higher grades. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 17.431192 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. Our nursing score is based on quite a few factors, but the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. 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. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously concerning. Short-term care ratings are critical for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
