Facility Inspections
While this facility received a decent overall grade, its inspections score is notably more impressive than its overall score. Due to a strong health inspection report this year, it received a strong score in that area with a B+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies 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
This nursing home also was awarded a favorable grade in our long-term care category. We gave this facility an above average grade of B in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.60896 percent of its patients, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. The nursing score consists of a handful of factors, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is short-term care, ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. In computing these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Not surprisingly, we found that this place provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 2.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
