Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade is not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for that area, which is a decent score. Inspection grades are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an B-. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we look at the number of hours nurses are with patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. 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, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area is short-term care. We gave it a C in this area. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. Short-term care ratings are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is long-term care. For that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
