Facility Inspections
This facility's overall grade was bolstered by the fact that it has received favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that area, with a B. This is a much better score than the facility's overall grade. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 10 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
This facility earned high grades in our nursing category as well. In fact, it received one of our highest scores in that category with a score of B-. Nursing ratings are primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
The third most favorable category we awarded this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. In the area of long-term care, we analyze the amount of care provided by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 82.85715 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Our last category is short-term care, in which we awarded this nursing home a C in that area. Short-term care scores are important for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
