Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that area, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection scores are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was awarded strong long-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in this area, with a grade of B. This proved to be the facility's second best score. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 37.621834 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a bit less than we were hoping for but still a decent figure. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is short-term care. This facility's was given a rock-bottom short-term care score where it received an F. Short-term care scores are vital for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this place is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was nursing, which is the final area we scored. Sadly, it received an F for this area. In spite of several solid grades in other categories, this grade is still of a concern so we wanted to make a note of it. There are several subcategories included in this grade. Many of the subcategories are tied to staffing levels. This place averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this area.
