Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A-. This is a notably better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a strong long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded them a B in that area, which is one of our better. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.4326 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest area was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are critical for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we analyzed was nursing, which is this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. Sadly, this category pulled down the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. When determining our nursing scores, we assess both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. In addition to its below average nursing hour totals, this place also received suboptimal scores in some of the quality-based measures we considered in computing our nursing grades. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's residents sustained falls which led to serious injury.
