Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that category, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a middle of the road grade in the area of long-term care, where it received a B-. Long-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of nursing services. This includes a broad range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services.

This facility vaccinated 95.70815 percent of its residents, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The next area we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-.

This grade is considered to be a reliable measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our final category, this nursing home received a grade of C for nursing, which is a respectable grade. When determining our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this statistic. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a patient more often.
