Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. This score is better than this facility's overall grade. Our inspection scores are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 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 nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility received its third most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in this area, which is an acceptable grade. Our long-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's amount of care. This means a broad spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was short-term care. This facility received a poor grade of F in this category. Short-term care ratings are crucial for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.7 percent of its residents returning home.
