Facility Inspections
This nursing home received an inspection score which is better than its overall score. Inspection ratings are tied to the nursing home's recent government inspections. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a B in this category, which happens to be one of our better. Our short-term care ratings are critical for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at 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 residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. When computing our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was long-term care, proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
