Nurse Quality
Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall grade, we did give it a strong grade in the area of nursing, where it earned a grade of B. This is better than most nursing homes in this area. Our nursing grade includes numerous datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more favorable category scores was in the category of short-term care. This ended up being its second most favorable category. In that area, we awarded this facility a C. Short-term care grades are vital for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Facility Inspections
This facility earned mediocre government inspections in recent years. We awarded them a grade of C in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This indicates this facility avoided the more significant categories of deficiencies. Lastly, we would like to point out that this place has received some government fines recently. Fortunately these were not on the high end as government fines go. That said, this is still not what you like to find.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was long-term care, where this nursing home received a very poor grade in this category also. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 99.631 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable figure. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
