Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned an inspection grade which is stronger than its overall score. Inspection grades are tied to a nursing home's recent government inspections. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Our nursing grade analyzes many components, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category is short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this area. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is generally a solid measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is long-term care, ended up being this facility's worst category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that area. In a long-term care setting, 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 patients. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 99.07835 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
