Facility Inspections
While this facility received a decent overall rating, its inspections grade is notably more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it received a strong score in that category with a B+. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care score appears to be one of its higher grades. The facility was awarded a B- in this area. Short-term care grades are vital for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing.

Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. When calculating our nursing ratings, we look at both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was long-term care, which is this nursing home's weakest area. We gave this facility a D in this category. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
