Facility Inspections
This facility's best category grade came in the area of inspections. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B+. It outperformed most facilities in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home performed well in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our nursing grade is largely based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third best category was short-term care. We gave it a C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. Short-term care grades are typically employed to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home performed better in this statistic. This place fared better than most facilities in this metric with 55.1 percent of its patients returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the last category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for the area of long-term care. This is the nursing home's least impressive category score. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 98.576515 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.7 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
