Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's better category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. For residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 80.51948 percent of its residents against pneumonia.

This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care, which proved to be this facility's least impressive category. We gave it an F in this category, which is obviously very concerning. In forming our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Given its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
