Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid inspections in recent years. We gave it a B in this category, which was much better than its overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Building on its strong profile, this facility also earned an excellent nursing grade, with an B. Nursing grades are mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
We gave this facility just a D for our long-term care score. This is well below average in this category. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 97.32442 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive area was short-term care, which is the last category we scored. For this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
