Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than the facility's overall grade. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our better scores. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.445984 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. We assessed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses were with patients, in calculating our grade in this category. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this subcategory.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in this category. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more important for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 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.
