Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A+ for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than its overall grade. Our inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this nursing home. Without having all of the information regarding deficiencies, it was a challenge to evaluate the place in the inspections category.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a positive score in our short-term care category. We awarded this facility a better than average grade of B in that category. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more important for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. When determining our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at is long-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. This really is one of just a few dings of a very solid profile. Facilities that do not score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated only 72.1519 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
