Nurse Quality
While we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable nursing grade this year. We gave it a B in this area, which was much better than its overall rating. The nursing grade analyzes many subcategories, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its second best category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent grade. Our short-term care ratings are critical for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, with a grade of D in the inspection category, this facility performed relatively poorly in that area. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. Generally, you should be especially cautious when considering a facility with severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This often means that a facility's bad track record has been an issue for multiple years.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed is long-term care. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in this category. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.49246 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
