This facility's best category grade came in the category of inspections. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this area. Inspection ratings are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Nursing scores are mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a solid grade in the category of short-term care, where it received a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home was given a decent long-term care grade of C. Long-term care grades are used to grade a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
