Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This facility earned high scores in nursing as well. In fact, it received one of our highest scores in that category with a score of B-. Our nursing score is mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next best category ended up being its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. Short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest category is long-term care, which is the final area we looked at. It received a lowly F for this category. In spite of some solid scores in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we wanted to draw your attention to it. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 94.85982 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
