Facility Inspections
Grade: A
To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than its overall score. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A-minus
Turning to the area of long-term care, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- in that category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.12537 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Grade: C
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing score is mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: F
This facility's weakest category was short-term care, which is the last category we assessed. It received a lowly F for this category. In spite of several respectable scores in other categories, this score is nevertheless of a concern so we felt obligated to draw your attention to it. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
