Facility Inspections
We would like to point out that this facility's inspection grade exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a B+ in this category, which is a quality score. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable category is its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. When calculating our nursing ratings, we analyze both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. While this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a patient at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next area, we gave this facility a grade of D for short-term care. This was the facility's worst category grade. In computing these short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Based on its score in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
