Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to note that this facility received impressive long-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our better grades in this category, with a grade of B. This proved to be the facility's second highest score. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.70502 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility ended up receiving a rock-bottom grade in our short-term care area. It was given an F in this area. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Considering its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the final category, this nursing home did not fare very well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this is this nursing home's poorest area. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This place averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is an alarmingly low total. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
