One of the highlights of this nursing home's report card is its strong inspection rating, which you can find in the next section.

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with an A-. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection grades are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Nursing grades are mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

The third highest area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. This nursing home boosted its score in this category by offering more physical therapy hours to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually below the national average.

The final category we assessed was long-term care. This facility was given a C for this area. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 90.68323 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is quite a bit below the national average. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.71 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
