Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable category was long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. We were a bit worried that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 86.376816 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents 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.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. Our nursing grade considers many datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in the area of short-term care. This is the facility's least impressive category score. Sadly, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall grade a bit. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.2 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
