Facility Inspections
While we did not have many favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall grade, it did receive a somewhat respectable inspection report this year. It received a decent score in that area with a B-. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received its second most favorable category grade in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in this category, which is a decent score. Our long-term care ratings are critical for individuals requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 96.484375 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This facilities third best area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. Short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we looked at was nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. Our nursing score consists of many data points, but the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
