Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Another one of this facility's more favorable category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy.

Long-term Care Quality
The third most favorable area we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Our long-term care grade is often used to assess a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 80.36363 percent of its patients, which is slightly concerning. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded was nursing, ended up being this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. This is one of just a couple of weak points of a very solid report card. Our nursing grade analyzes a handful of factors, however, the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to its weak nursing hours, this place earned suboptimal scores in some of the quality-based metrics we considered in calculating our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this place's residents sustained falls leading to major injury.
