Facility Inspections
This facility's best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
Another one of this nursing home's stronger areas was in the category of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. Nursing ratings are mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was given strong short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a B. In crafting these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is certainly very concerning. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to resident care. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 64.62264 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is quite a few points less than what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
