Facility Inspections
Grade: B-plus
Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections category. This score is much more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even with this deficiency, this nursing home still received a relatively positive report.
Nurse Quality
Grade: B
We also gave this facility favorable marks in the area of nursing care, where it received a grade of B. Our nursing grade is largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving residents more often.

Short-term Care Quality
Grade: C
The third category we analyzed is short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a C. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: F
The next category we looked at was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to resident care. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 43.75 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is quite a bit below the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
