Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A+. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our inspection grades are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave them a grade of B in this area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's third best category was short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively badly. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Based on its abysmal rating in this category, we were not stunned to discover this nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's worst category was nursing, which is the final area we assessed. We gave it a lowly F in this area. In spite of multiple respectable grades in other categories, this grade is still of a concern so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. The nursing score consists of a handful of data points, however, the main one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
