Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Our inspection grades are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable category is long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this nursing home an D. Our nursing rating is based on quite a few subcategories, but the primary one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth area, this facility really did not fare well. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this was its poorest grade. In our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Considering its grade in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we looked at. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.
