Facility Inspections
Although we didn't give this facility a good overall score, we did give it a strong grade in the area of inspections, where it earned a B. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had too many deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong grade in our short-term care category. We gave this facility an above average grade of B in this category. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. When computing our nursing grades, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is long-term care, where this facility was given a very poor grade in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 95.39749 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, 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.
