Facility Inspections
This facility's overall grade was bolstered by the fact that it has received favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them a strong score in this category, with a B. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score. Our inspection ratings are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a patient at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's third best area is its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a B-. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our last area, this nursing home was awarded a grade of C for short-term care, which is generally an acceptable score. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
