Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B for our inspections category. This score is far better than the place's overall score. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with a list of deficiencies flagged. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a C. In forming these long-term care grades, we analyze the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.1228 percent of its patients. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. The nursing rating consists of quite a few subcategories, however, the paramount one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care. We gave it an F in this area, which is a poor score. Our short-term care grades are likely most critical for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its grade in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
