Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. This is far better than the facility's overall rating. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, while this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its long-term care grade, which is well below average in this category. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 89.0785 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final category, we gave this facility a D for our short-term care category. This is the nursing home's weakest category score. Short-term care scores are crucial for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With its score in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
