Facility Inspections
We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection grade exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a B+ in this area, which is one of our better grades. Our inspection ratings are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

This facility also excelled in nursing, where it earned an B. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Our nursing grade is largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its third best category score in the area of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is an acceptable score. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal 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 nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.54338 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. This nursing home was able to keep its patients 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
This nursing home's least impressive area is short-term care, which is the final category we assessed. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most meaningful for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.9 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.
