Nurse Quality
While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's long-term care grade ended up being one of its better grades. The nursing home received a C in this category. Our long-term care grade is typically used to grade a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.859314 percent of its patients. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections
This facility received mediocre government inspections in recent years. We gave them a C in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. With our short-term care grade, we seek to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Given its grade in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
