Facility Inspections
While we didn't give this facility a good overall score, we actually gave it a relatively strong grade in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of B+. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that have a long list of severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best category is short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road score in this area. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

The final category we assessed is long-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is an abysmal grade. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important.

This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
