Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our long-term care grade focuses on a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled nursing and healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.38275 percent of its patients. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. In determining our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was short-term care. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. Short-term care grades are generally employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
