Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it a B+ in this category, which was much better than its overall grade. Inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This nursing home was hit with 11 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care grade is one of its best scores. The nursing home received a grade of B- in this area. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality
We were surprised to find that this nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing. We awarded it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest grades. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home received a poor score here as well. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is definitely a major disappointment. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities provide. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 89.13043 percent of its residents. This is multiple points less than average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
