This is a much better grade than its overall score. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.45055 percent of its residents, which is more than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third best area turned out to be short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Facility Inspections
Moving on the final category of inspections, we gave this facility a grade of just D for our inspection category. This proved to be this facility's worst grade. We take a weak grade in this category very seriously. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility had 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 4 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
