Nurse Quality
This nursing home received a nursing score which is stronger than its overall grade. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home actually received a solid inspection report this year as well, with few major dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B-. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its third most favorable category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a decent grade. Short-term care grades are critical for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this facility did not perform well. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is its weakest area. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 96.0912 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
